Traded 2 & 51 to Portland for 7, 14, 34. Kept 26.

7 Castle
14 Edey
26 DaRon Holmes
34 Cameron Christie

I figure Castle and Edey would simulate the Clingan chemistry on defense. On offense: post entry passing to a dominant offensive rebounder, he can clean up Castle's misses while Stephon learns to shoot from outside :clown:.

Holmes provides a stretch big to play the Karaban role and open the middle. Adds mobile active defense, steals blocks and rebounds.

Christie and his tiny hands gives another ranged shooting option on the wing.

----------
Next try Portland gave 7+14 +2026 1rp!
for 2 + 51. Weird that the machine gave up the extra 1st and all I had to do was add that late late 2nd.

7 Sheppard
14 Edey
26 DaRon Holmes

2026 Cam Boozer/Alijah Arenas/etc.
No way Portland does that deal in real life, but I'd take it.

Traded #2 to SAS for #4 plus CHI 2025 1st (top 10 protected).
Also traded Kuzma to SAC for #13+fodder (Vezenkov+Mitchell)

At #4 picked Clingan as our center of the future (Sarr was gone #1, Risacher #2 and Sheppard #3).
At #13 picked Collier, as our upside play at guard.
At #26 picked Dadiet, as an upside play at wing.
At #52 picked Flowers, to be sent to G-league as a 2-way, another upside play at wing.

Next season's rotation:

Poole/Collier/Mitchell
Kispert/Butler
Bilal/Dadiet/Flowers
Deni/Vezenkov
Clingan/Tristan V./Bagley

And we'll still have our 2025 1st (top-10 protected) to convey plus the CHI 1st likely to convey in 2025 or 2026: top-10 protected in 2025 and then top-8 protected in 2026 and 2027.

I traded 2 & 26 to Portland for 7, 14, 34 & 40 -- not an unreasonable trade. Had a tremendous draft I think!

7 -- Ron Holland
14 -- Zach Edey
34 -- Pacome Dadiet
40 -- Daron Holmes (ridiculous, I know -- but there he was!)
52 -- Trentyn Flowers

I'd be pretty happy with that gang in my net!

So I gave it another go, trading again Kuz to SAC for #13 (+fodder in Vezenkov & Mitchell) and I am quite pleased with the results...

At #2 selected Alex Sarr (Risacher went #1)
At #13 picked Holland (was still available then).
At #26 selected Carrington! (amazingly still available then).
At #52 selected Flowers

Next year roster:

Poole/Carrington
Bilal/Butler
Holland/Kispert/Flowers
Deni/Tristan V./PBJ
Sarr/Bagley

Now, I'd be extremely surprised if both Holland and Carrington are available at #13 and #26 but that is what ESPN and the simulator determined...
