2020 Offseason Strategy Thread

We need to add an enforcer since nobody on our team wants to standup to Morris. He has tried harming Luka twice in this series.
It's time to protect Luka and add a guy that will standup to guys like Morris. Let the interview process begin.

Just find a tough guy who hates Morris. Should not be too hard.

exactly.. Luka did almost everything is this series. He scored, passed and looked out on teammates as well, in a sense he also had the task of being an enforcer and making sure none of his teammates were getting punked. He shouldnt have to worry about that anymore.

Here are some very low risk high reward guys that can fill that role.
Isaiah Hartenstein
Ike Anigbogu

among the 2 i like anigbogu more. 4yrs younger than KP, an elite physical specimen and extremely athletic.

Watch on YouTube

even if these guys bust after a few games just waive them.. theres very little downside to giving them a look.

[Mr B]

What about a guy like John Collins? Does his game fit next to KP? I see he’s a restricted free agent and the QO for him is $5.9M.

What would it take realistically to trade for Thaddeus Young?

Jae Crowder may be an option if Miami doesn't keep him. He's a solid player as well.

We love him so a deal would be tough but JV fits what you are looking for as an enforcer. He can start games when you don't want KP banging against opposing centers and act as a 6th man off the bench when you guys put KP at center. JV held off Morris and a couple other Knicks in January when we had a big scuffle. Morris shoved Ja at one point and then JV made sure no one else came close to our young stud.

Just sign one of Crowder, Ibaka or Milsap

[arkuo]

My vote goes to Ibaka. Aside from thr fact that he's the biggest dude of all those names, he can also speak Spanish being Congolese-Spanish. Also played in Real Madrid in 2011. Him, KP and Luka can all call plays in Spanish.

[arkuo]

Call Philly to assist if we can help them get rid of Tobias Harris. We also need a better supporting cast around Luka and KP.

Tobias Harris + Mathysse Thybulle + Shake Milton + #36

for

Powell + Kleber + Wright + Seth + #18

SIgn Ibaka to a one year deal, 2nd year team option.

C- Porzingis / Marjanovic
PF - Harris / Ibaka
SF- DFS / Thybulle / Jackson
SG- THJ / Milton
PG-Doncic / Brunson

That deal still keeps your 2021 max slot intact. Tobias Harris (despite the contract size) can score in the 30s. Something Powell, Kleber and Delon Wright cannot do. Thybulle and Shake Milton are both really good 3&D players that fit the system. Best thing about it is if you still manage to sign Giannis in 2021, just insert him into the starting lineup, have DFS come off the bench.

[JJP]

I think Harris has too much salary to take on. Phillie will want to keep Milton with that contract, but I'd love to have him. I don't think they'd make Thybulle available either. Still, Philadelphia does have salary problems, and some of their players will have to go.

Ibaka might be good if he would take a shorter contract.

The whole idea is centered around that actually. They rid themselves of the Tobias Harris contract but send out Thybulle and Milton as a penalty. That is a very cheap price to pay than attaching Embiid or Simmons just to get Tobais Harris off their books. I think Elton Brand pulls the trigger on that. He gets to keep Biid and Simmons plus gets a shooter in Seth Curry.

I think it's more likely Josh Richardson is made available, but it's possible two players are can be acquired.

John Collins would be perfect but Atlanta gives him the max or pisses off a lot of people. It's not the old Atlanta ownership so I expect them to pay.

Career low in points this season. Philly is just not a great fit for him. I'd like to see us pursue a big trade with Philly but if we only come out of it with Thaddeus Young that's fine too. Future pick(s) seems reasonable unless Philly wants one of our young players that has a bad contract but Philly has enough bad contracts already.

2020-21: $13,545,000
2021-22: $14,190,000 {Non-Guaranteed}

Other players on Philly I like:

Joel Embiid
Mike Scott: A perfect piece for our team and tough guy.
Glen Robinson (Free Agent)
Alec Burks (Free Agent)

It would be really difficult to get Thaddeus Young in a trade with Philly.

Ibaka with mid-level contract is fine for me. I think Ibaka fits alongside KP. Unfortunately, the age is discouraging.

[HMFFL]

Care to elaborate?

At this point, Elton Brand has a one year window to fix the problems on the team, or else he's gone. Young's track record proves he bounces around.

He plays for the Bulls.

[dirkforpres]

Unfortunately there just aren’t that many “tough guys” in the league anymore.... Or if there are, they don’t translate to today’s NBA. Beverley, the Morris twins, Rozier, and Adams are the only names that come to mind as far as guys that won’t back down to anybody and also deserve PT.

I really do hope the Mavs get Luka some enforcers though because teams are gonna start to target him if they know they can get away with it. He needs a PJ Tucker

Yeah he's a bull, career lows but on a bad team with no playmaking, luka will get him grear looks and he's a solid 3/4 defender, ive posed wright for thad and bulls fans like it

I like him fine. You probably didn't read my entire response.
