The Rebuild Thread

[HeadtopChunes]

I'd be thrilled with Kyle for either Fultz or 10. Of course if we drafted SVG, who screams average to me, I'd probably just snap. lol.

How could you not want this to happen?

[CoachJReturns]

I guess if any major changes will happen this off-season they will start tonight. If not, we can probably expect them to run back the same roster possibly without Fred.

1) Lowry, Ibaka to Cleveland for Hill, JR, Clarkson, #8

Why?

Cavs get all-star PG, rim protection and stretch 5 to pair with Lebron, Love, and Korver/Hood. All 5 can hit 3s plus Cavs have a bench.

Raps clear about $38M off books for 2019-2020 (over $50M if they find a taker for Clarkson) and a few million for next season. Raps tell JR to stay home until trade deadline or buy him out with minimum taken off salary for next season and his $3.87m guarantee for 2019-2020 waived. Raps would have $30M in expiring deals to work with at trade deadline.


2) DeRozan to Memphis for Parsons and 4
Miles to Memphis for McLemore.

Why?

Memphis clears Parsons and gets a second team all NBA to pair with Conley and Gasol. They also get a solid player in Miles who fills an area of weakness from 3.

Raptors clear a few more million in addition to trade #1 which can hopefully return FVV and avoid luxury tax. Bonus: Could Raps also get them to take Powell in to one of their trade exceptions?


3) Flip #4 to Celtics for Jaylen Brown and a 2019 pick Sacto pick.

If they want Mo Bamba, here you go. TBH, I'd probably do it for just Brown.


4) Send Clarkson and a 2nd round pick to any team willing to take him.


2018-2019

PG: Hill, FVV, Shai
SG: Brown, Wright, Richardson
SF: OG, McLemore, McKinnie
PF: Siakam, Parsons
C: JV, Poetlt

I think they can compete for 7 or 8 seed if Brown stays healthy. Most importantly they have cap space (which is useful for more than free agency) and draft picks to move forward. This is a quick rebuild versus the inevitable long rebuild that comes with riding out Lowry/Ibaka/DeRozan.
