If Grimes finish to the season was real this is one the few moves that could make a difference for Milw. Morey would want his pound of flesh and sees blood in the water.

Scratch Pat C off the list, he's going to Charlotte to free up cap space for the Turner signing.

Ive posted it too many times but still would look at Kuz/vet mins/2031 first for Patrick/Coby..

And I think you could try to play with the 2026 swap also since NOP isn’t looking so good either.. Should be able to build some value off of Washington or OKC..

Agree that this is my favorite so far.

2026 swap option (worse of Mil/NOP) to Washington for worse of OKC/Hou/LAC

Washington gets to go from probably 30 to probably 20.. Lot of upside if Giannis decides to leave / get hurt etc..

But they have to take Kuzma back and trade CJM.

But not sarcastically, I think that could be built into a three team deal where Washington gets bad money - but not Kuzma..

or OKC or Washington (for that pick swap) give the third team a few seconds and that helps turn Kuzma into Grayson Allen or such..

Or maybe OKC does Joe+seconds for third team expiring+swap (second worst of OKC/Houston/LAC for worst of NOP/Mil).. Then Milwaukee ends up with Joe and another 8-15 mil player? Third team gets seconds and Kuzma.. That is a very sloppy template though.

think it cost more than that swap to turn Kuzma into a productive expiring guard

what about

Milwaukee out: Kuzma, 2026 swap
Milwaukee in: Derozan

Washington out: Kispert, Holmes
Washington in: Kuzma, 2026 swap

Sacramento out: Derozan
Sacramento in: Holmes, Kispert

No one wants Kuzma. Just Salary slot imo.

I would try Phoenix though. They are very limited and should be desperate enough to take a chance on Kuz cheaper than most teams..

Royce is short but he is not a 2 at all and never really was even in Utah. Right?

But they could use guys that play defense and shoot threes. That’s why I picked Sac?

Royce can play up line ups when there is a defensive anchor like gobert or allen/claxton. I think its a bad idea w/ sabonis

Think he’s been a three that can guard up to four or down to two.

yes I agreed with that. 6'4 and 6'10 wingspan = SG size but plays up. I just dont think hes a good idea on the kings

DJM would be a good buy low for Milwaukee if they don’t want to trade their 2031 first.
