And then flip these assets (or some of them)+ some more if Needed (in best case milton/reed/joe, pick) for beal, sga or lavine. Pick swap later on could be included as well
For beal give up brogdan, Warren, picks ind, future 1rnd pick phi (prob 2)
For sga give up brogdan, milton, reed, joe, picks ind, pick(s) phi, possibly even maxey.
For lavine (+young?): brogdan, Warren, milton, reed, pick(s) ind, possible future pick.
I dont think lillard will be traded. Beal is most experienced, but not best 3 point shooter.
Sga is young and therefore is most usefull longterm even if embiid is gone in few years (lets hope more then 3 good years left), needs max extension off course. First year bargain salary.
Lavine has to prove himself by a contender , but at least not undersized. Some extra room salary to start with, Needs extension also.
The trade i like most is probably the one for sga, especially if we can keep Warren and maxey. But if oklahoma would accept brogdan, milton, reed, joe, ind pick, 2 first round phi and pick swap we should accept in a minute.
If they somehow would want maxey, thybulle, milton, reed and picks/pick swab accept right away also of course.
(Dreaming of sga, brogdan, warren, harris and embiid starting 5, curry, green and some vets on bench). But that will be dreaming....
I love where your head and heart are, but I don't think many of those trades are realistic. I don't see Indy giving up both Brogdon and Warren plus picks. This puts the Beal trade out of reach. I haven't heard SGA being on the table and I don't see that pupu platter. The Lavine trade also falls apart because it relies on Indy pick and more picks.
Maybe Indy moves Brogdon and Warren (who I love as a target) but might take Thybulle or hopefully Milton.
