Send out Macgruder, Joseph, Knox, Killian, and Casey to any G League for a decent big that is ready to compete hard.

Elevate an assistant that is interested in actually managing his rotation and give Livers, Diallo and the new big all the new minutes from the trash sweep.

It would be nice if Burks/Noel could get on the court. Hard to trade injured players. Bojan/Burks/Noel seems to be a good Lakers package.

We could probably flip 2nd rounders for OKC 1st rd pick plethora over the next couple years. I also think if you lined several extra 2nd round picks right around the time all this talent should start to become costly, weaver could find away to make those selections work best for that costly roster. Plus we tank back one more year organically and still have the cap space.



ANY trade where Westbrook comes to Detroit, there needs to be at least one first round pick+ coming to Detroit.

I don’t want any part of that trade. If I want to collect 2nds, you can do that a lot easier.


I'd do Bagley, Hayes, Diallo, CoJo, and Burks for Westbrook straight up just to clear the $20+ million we're paying Bagley and Hayes next year off the books. We'd then have up to $75 million in cap space this summer. We'd also get to sign a bunch of guys throughout the season to see if anyone sticks with all the extra open roster spots.

Sure, I’d go for that.

Make a run a 2 difference-makers in free agency.

Load up on the frontcourt. Build around Cade/Ivey
