If you trade Fox for Simmons there are two glaring problems.
You don't have a #1 or #2 option and Holmes can't be the starting 5 (or should I say most minutes at 5), plain and simple.
So if it's Fox for Simmons then a trade for another player plus 2-3 firsts needs to be done for a #1 guy, preferably not Hali or Barnes IMO.
If it's say Mitchell/#1/#1/Bagley/Thompson (third team) for Jaylen Brown as the framework I could be down with that despite the 5 position still needing work. A lot of line ups wont require Holmes at the 5. If you can swing a deal for a shooting big like Olynyk (while keeping Holmes) then that would be good.
9 man rotation (more likely using 8 without Len).
Simmons/Davis
Hali/Buddy
Brown/
Barnes/Harkless
Holmes/Len
If that Jaylen Brown deal was available, id just skip the rest of the trades and go straight for that.
Fox/
Hali/Buddy
Jaylen/Harkless
Barnes/Metu
Holmes/Len
Mitchell has grown on me. But Jaylen Brown takes a ton of pressure off Fox and provides a true elite scorer.
Excellent point. Yes that would be better.
That’s the type of trade Monte is gearing up for IMO. I’m hoping they can keep Buddy around in this role.
If another pick needs to be added to that trade then so be it, but it’s obvious this team needs more scoring in the starting line up.
