No idea if this is how they roll, but the article is very well thought out and not something we've spent time on (as opposed to regurgitating the same trades we've been making for the last month). Not Plan Powder, but "Plan Booker".
There isn't a requirement that the key player be DeRozan. It can be any of the older guys who would take our money (my preference is Conley). The 2023 draft will have passed by then and will put us in a better position with draft capital.
From a PR standpoint, we are getting a "name FA" this summer. So we satisfy the fan base that wants us to "DO SOMETHING". As I've said, you can argue that just one more good (not great) real NBA starter would have gotten us past LAC. So, we would still be knocking on the door with a plan like this. But the "real" plan is just to get us from here to 2024.
OK, Plan 2024. But why Conley over Lowry?
