I love this
Might take a frp, imo...DFS can play. He's arguably better (certainly defensively ) than Cam Johnson and certainly at a better salary.
Certainly interesting to ponder. Maybe go bigger and send Mo and/or Goga and get Claxton..
ORL sends Cole Anthony, Mo Wagner, Goga Bitadze, ORL 25 frp (lottery protected, then top 8, then 2srps) and DEN 25 frp
BRK sends DFS, Nic Claxton
(eligible Jan 15, 2025...enough time to integrate and contend)
*sorry about Mo, but if we add Claxton, he's not playing anyway. Mo got a great deal for his talent level and he'll have an opportunity to up his present and future value with PT in BRK. Goga basically the same story. A Claxton/WCJ platoon at C is an absolute monster, considering how nasty our defense is WITHOUT a rim-protector already. WCJ tends to miss time, but he's a very good, versatile big who can actually play quality minutes at PF too - especially next to Claxton or Isaac. DFS just adds to the awful nights one looks forward to when playing ORL. Schroeder is certainly interesting and could somehow be added but he's not the most lovable locker room guy and I don't want him changing that dynamic, especially with AB's emergence...we'd have until January to eval that anyway). Claxton doesn't shoot from any range, but rotations could certainly be staggered to accomodate him and his elite defense.
