Would you look at internal growth and less moves? Or would you swing for the fences this offseason? All opinions welcome.

Detroit was pretty solid last year. Getting Ivey back will be a positive just by that.

But some people think Cade needs another star player next to him.

Trojan Longdong?

Uhh.. let's be more adult than this, please.

Go after Naz Reid. He can play next to Jalen Duren on both ends of the floor and spell him at Center. They'd have to deal Tobias Harris in a S&T and hope Bobi Klintman is ready for the back-up role.

Stand pat everywhere else. Let Dennis Schroeder and THJ walk, re-sign Malik's Beasley, go for Reid, call up Klintman.

don't pick up the league's calls when they try to instruct you to trade Cade to the Lakers for Bronny.

Try to see if you can get Herb Jones from the Pelicans for Ron Holland, a pick and Fontecchio (and maybe Sasser). Bring back Beasley and Schroder.

I'd look to move Isaiah Stewart and try to bring in a solid veteran backup center, like Looney, Lopez, or Horford. I'd also look to add Trey Lyles or Precious Achiuwa to replace Paul Reed.

I'd bring back Malik Beasley for ~10M/year or less. I'd target Trent Jr, Kennard or McDermott if THJ wouldn't come back at a reasonable price.

I'd look to convince Chris Paul, Westbrook, or Cam Payne as a backup guard.

Looney would be a great fit on this squad.

Don't run it back with the same team, even with the solid amount of success. Capitalize on the weakened East and current large amount of cap space by trading for a star that can Cade can play together with for a deep playoff run.

I'd kick the tires on Markannen.

If I were Trajan Langdon I would have to deal with a lot of burocracy this offseason because i definitely would try to change my name.

The level of the replies so far is embarrassing.

I posted this somewhere else, might as well post it here.

I'd use 2 2nds to dump Fontecchio into someone else's cap space/TPE/NTMLE.

Renounce all the cap holds and get cap space. $23,938,433 Total is what they'd have.

Give NTMLE money to Beasley (4 years $60,647,200)

Give Schröder a 3 years $31,015,658 contract (that would be all the cap space left, if that's not enough there are plenty of options in FA for a backup PG)

Use the Room Exception to sign Jake LaRavia (3 years $27,660,150)

Jalen Duren / Isaiah Stewart / min salary C
Tobias Harris / Jake LaRavia / #37 - (Bogoljub Marković was the suggestion)
Ausar Thompson / Ron Holland / Bobi Klintman
Jaden Ivey / Malik Beasley / Marcus Sasser
Cade Cunningham / Dennis Schröder / Open roster spot

Total salary would be $163,265,099

At the deadline they would have plenty of salaries and picks to make a relevant trade, having more information on their young guys development (Ivey Ron and Ausar, Duren is pretty bad because of his defense).

This is likely a play in team, but they'd be in a better situation to make moves in the future.
