I want PG/SG Jaden Springer out of this draft.
I don´t get why he´s ranked between #18 and #22 on most boards. I think after the top 5, what I have seen from the rest, I´d rank him and Sengun as the next best talent.
18 years old, high motor, great footwork and lateral movement on defense. Jumpshot mechanics look good to me. He has a 3pt shot and a midrange game.
Maybe it´s that he lacks in PG skills and his projected size for a SG might be on the small side, 6´4 with 6´6 wingspan, but we have a 6´8 PG, so defensively we´d stick him to the opposing PG anyway. His size is less important to us than his ability to stay in front of them.
I´d sell Brunson´s left kidney to the Knicks for #19 and #21 to make it happen.
Other options to get a pick in that range could include Kuzma + 22nd pick for Kleber. Later send Kuzma to the Bulls for Markkanen.
If we decide to trade Porzingis, I´d try to get the 9th (from Kings), 10th (from Pelicans) 11th (from Hornets) or 13th (from Pacers). Though I´m not sure Sengun lasts that long.
Trades as usual for Porzingis:
Bledsoe + Adams + 10th pick for Porzingis + 22nd pick.
Roster after the overhaul
Doncic/Bledsoe/Terry
THJ/Springer(19th pick)/Green
DFS/Richardson/Bey
Markkanen/Powell/Greg Brown (22nd pick)
Adams/Room MLE/Sengun (10th pick)
Starting salaries for Markkanen and THJ would have to be around $16-17M and I lost Burke along the way
Think that´s a healthy mix of veterans and youth with the necessary flexibility to make a major trade move.
