I believe the Suns would be great trade partners with us because they have PG's and the #4 pick. We need a PG and covet Hield.
Here's my idea:
Kings trade: #8 pick, Rudy Gay, Kosta Koufos, Marco Belinelli, Ben McLemore, and Caron Butler
Kings receive: #4 pick, Eric Bledsoe, PJ Tucker, Tyson Chandler, and #34 pick
Kings get their PG in Bledsoe plus makes Cousins happy and wish granted with Hield but have to take on Chandler's contract. I also like Tucker's toughness off the bench.
Suns trade: #4 pick, Eric Bledsoe, PJ Tucker, Tyson Chandler, and #34 pick
Suns receive: #8 pick, Kevin Love, and Kosta Koufos
Suns get their star in Love. Koufos can start at center, and they can take Chriss at #8 to be a potential future star to pair with Knight and Booker.
Cavs trade: Kevin Love
Cavs receive: Rudy Gay, Marco Belinelli, Ben McLemore, and Caron Butler
Love was disappointment in Cleveland but he got his ring. I think Rudy would be an ideal 3rd wheel behind LeBron and Kyrie. Marco can return to his Spurs form and Ben at one time was LeBron's guy. Caron replaces Richard Jefferson and gives him chance to win another ring closer to his home.
Going into free agency we'd look like this...
PG Eric Bledsoe/Darren Collison/#34 Gary Payton II
SG #4 Buddy Hield/#59 Michael Bryson
SF Omri Casspi/PJ Tucker
PF Willie Cauley-Stein
C DeMarcus Cousins/Tyson Chandler
I'd then target Kent Bazemore and hometown Ryan Anderson in free agency. Also resign our own free agents Seth Curry and Quincy Acy.
2016-17 Roster
PG Eric Bledsoe/Darren Collison/Gary Payton II
SG Buddy Hield/Seth Curry/Michael Bryson
SF Kent Bazemore/Omri Casspi/PJ Tucker
PF Willie Cauley-Stein/Ryan Anderson/Quincy Acy
C DeMarcus Cousins/Tyson Chandler
I believe this roster would be a good blend of offensive and defensive capabilities and we'd be in the playoffs for the opening season in the Golden 1 Center.
