If we can capitalize on OG's value by getting a package of Murphy/Daniels, LAL 1st, and a future 1st we win that trade. It raises out ceiling and makes us a better offensive unit with depth.
Poeltl (re-signed 20M) - Achiuwa - Koloko
Siakam - Boucher - Young
Barnes - Murphy - Porter
Trent (25M) - Daniels
VanVleet (25M) - Banton
Add Walker and Wallace we have 4-5 high potential bench pieces. 2 of Walker/Wallace/Hendricks, Achiuwa, Murphy, Daniels, and Koloko.
That wouldn't make us a treadmill team and the extra first makes losing one to Poeltl easier to handle.
