• Hoping Dlo opts in (depends on the Magic, I guess) and can be traded in a one year. As for destinations, hoping Brooklyn (netting DFS / Sharpe / Whitehead, any 2 here) or TOR for Bruce Brown.
• If the 17th pick is kept, I’d love DaRon Holmes (Dayton) or Devin Carter (Providence). In this draft, there’s no young player at that point with a ceiling worth investing in. Therefore, I think it makes sense to get the best combination of fit + floor/readiness. Plus we all saw the JHS selection, which could have been used for a legit bench piece.
• If they’re available at 55, I’d love Cam Spencer or Mark Sears (worth trading up for too, imo)
• See what JHS, Rui, Gabe, a 2029 FRP could net (some combination of these assets, could be included in a Dlo trade imo)
• CP3 on a vet min (if he opts out), RoCo too, would be great imo
• Use the MLE on a backup big-man, I’d like Goga Bitadze or Jalen Smith for example. Other MLE candidates are Kris Dunn or D. Melton imo
• Bronny as a UDFA would be cool too I guess, I’m unsure if he’s a draftable prospect atp.
• Non Mitchell trade candidates I’d be really excited for are Mikal, Sexton, or Alex Caruso. I’m not getting my hopes up on a Lauri deal at all, it’s not happening.
We definitely need another big, but I would love to get a stretch big who could shoot and play next to AD
Jalen Smith could make sense, but I feel like he gets more money. Also a bit thin and I wonder if Christian Wood can play that role.
Would then 1 want big with size like Goga, but he should get over the taxpayer mle
I wonder if Derozan would take a paycut and come for the mle? But I doubt it. Probably not even the non tax payer mle
FA min vets that come to mind quickly
Cp3, Kevin Love
I cant also determine where to spend the mle and what FAs to target without knowing what the plans are in terms of trades
Edit:
Just realized I think we can get to use the non tax payer mle if Dlo opts out right?
Under 166m right? Probably want to get closer to like high 150s or 160 at max so we can use that and bring back Christie....that gives us some options if I am thinking properly
Truly a horrible FA class though
