Brooklyn In: Kenneth Faried / Henry Ellenson / Eric Moreland / 2 2nd round picks from Washington.

They turn Carroll into 2 2nds and a reclamation project in a position of need in Henry Ellenson, while giving Kenneth Faried a new home, perhaps he would work for them, he should get plenty of playing time and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson would be able to play SF most of the time.

Eric Moreland could be waived if they want, since his contract is fully unguaranteed, however he is a solid 5th big man on a small deal, he should be worth the roster spot and the money for Brooklyn imo.

Denver Out: Kenneth Faried / lotto protected 1st round pick
Denver In: Stanley Johnson and Jason Smith

Denver saves some cap space, perhaps allowing them to bring Will Barton back while maxing out Nikola Jokic, they get rid of a disgruntled player in Kenneth Faried, and actually send him to the best possible destination in the league, a team he would have a huge chance of starting and proving himself in his contract year, more importantly, they add an underdevelped young player with high upside in a position they desperately need, and his skill set fit the team like a glove.

Detroit Out: Ish Smith / Stanley Johnson / Henry Ellenson / Eric Moreland
Detroit In: DeMarre Carroll / Denver Lotto protected 1st round pick

Detroit cash in on SVG picks that didn't work for them, before they lose those players for nothing. They turn Henry Ellenson and Stanley Johnson into a likely mid 1st round pick in 2019, they also add the perfect fit at SF in DeMarre Carroll and improve their odds of making the playoffs next season.

They create a huge hole at backup PG to fill their hole at the wing, however, a backup PG should be easier to fill than a starting SF imo.

Washington Out: Jason Smith / 2 2nd round picks
Washington In: Ish Smith

Washington add a fantastic backup PG on an expiring deal, and they pay peanuts to add him.

Actually he has just been waiting for this moment ever since he first signed up to RealGM.

This is wildly untrue.

Kennard is not a 3, he’s 6’6” with a 6’5” wingspan and abysmal athletically. The absolute best we can hope for on that end is that he’s an average team defender and below average on-ball defender. He’s a straight 2, can handle the ball a little and could become a Reddick light on offence but let’s take off the homer glasses and call a spade a spade.
