Dallas Plan

[pipfan]

I like the idea of Dallas resetting their roster after adding Flagg.

1-AD for PG13 and #3
Philly prays Embiid can play regularly by the ASB, and has the best Big 3 in the league with Maxey.
Have to bring Drummond back, and take it slowly for the first few months. Bring back Grimes and make McCain their 6th man. In the playoffs, IF HEALTHY, this lineup could easily be favored in the East
Maxey/McCain
Grimes/McCain
Oubre/Council
AD/Yabusele
Embiid/Drummond


2-PJ to OKC for Dieng, KWilliams and the #24
OKC would LOVE to have Williams off their bench next year

3-Gafford/Klay for Reeves/Vincent
Lakers could REALLY use Gafford, and Klay starts too
Luka/Klay/LBJ/Rui/Gafford

Dallas ends up with a core of Flagg, VJ at #3, Reeves and Lively. They also have Dieng and the #24, with Hardy and Prosper (and that PG Williams?)

If Dieng develops a Reeves/VJ/Flagg/Dieng/Lively lineup would be deadly in a few years

DO NOT resign KI-let him opt in, and see if he can play by Feb at all but keep the books clear. Hopefully for them, PG 13 can build value and be dealt next summer
Lots of vets, with PG13 trying to rebuild his value, Martin/Christie/Kleber/Vincent/Powell/Marshall

The OKC deal feels like I’d rather keep PJ? Especially if you have them adding Reaves and not tanking.

And LAL shouldn’t do that deal at all. Really poor value imo, on top of needing more salary coming to Dallas. Dallas should do it just off of value. Though in a tanking season, I’d be trading Reaves to the highest bidder rather than risking his UFA. Happy to pay Kyrie and have him be the guard to lead the kids..

I’d want more value from Philly personally. Obviously would love McCain but don’t think Philly does that. Maybe the 2028 Clipper first? Maybe that’s still shooting too high. Really don’t want to use 3 of Flagg/VJ’s cheap years on Paul George’s bloated contract but if Philly is offering the most value, you do it?

Why are all of these trade that involve the 76ers are making win now moves? The 76ers are no position to trade major assets for older players when they don't even know if Emiid ever be able to play again.

It's a good point and a HUGE gamble for the Sixers-but worth it, I think. Their only hope for a title is through Embiid. AD/Joel could be epic for a few years, before both breakdown. Just have to limit their games/minutes
