Appreciate the effort, but I don't think Houston would do any of those things.
Mikal Bridges isn't worth that, and I don't think we would use MLE, as we have a max cap space window for next offseason.

Dear god, if Detroit's offseason includes signing tobias to a 4 year deal and trading Grimes/Stewart+ for Zach LaVine, I might quit this team.

The Houston part is not happening.
Stone would be fired on the spot.

I agree. Don’t forget drafting Jimmer 2.0. I’d go one step further. If the front office wanted this terrible plan, relocate the team to Seattle or Vegas to prevent Detroit from being the first 0-82 team ever.

The G Harris and Bey contracts are way off imo. I not even sure Atlanta extends a QA on Bey. Okeke seems more like a 1 year min guy too to me. Fontecchio at 2/10 seems like a steal since I think he is worth more than G Harris and Bey.

Yeah that sounds like an absolute nightmare.
I like drafting Sheppard. But we don’t have to do the other stuff.

I think Topic reinjuring the knee makes has dropped him below the #2 spot.
Can't see Washington signing JV with drafting a C and having Holmes, Bagley, and Vukcevic (and possibly Vesenkov) playing the position already; especially not if we are tanking and this team still needs to tank badly. Save the money for getting more assets through Bring Out Your Dead deals.

Everything looks on par on ATLs end. Bey will either be offered the qo or renounced due to him being out most of next season.
The NO deal seems okay but if the pick is in this draft I doubt they go Bub with AJG and Bufkin struggling to get minutes. Definitely wing with that pick but I digress.
I'm not doing the Hunter/AJG trade for that package. Hunter is overpaid but has shown elite production off the bench and AJG is still 20.
