Love for "Chriss Dudley and Warren, maybe the Bucks pick" - (forget Hill just Love) - would be similar to when the Warriors took Ellis (a position of depth on the team) and traded for Bogut. Rebalanced the roster. Got a bridge player - I think Bogut was only in GSW from 13 to 16. If the Suns could swing Hill too for Chandler - Suns also get the PG that is a bridge for Okobo, one year deal. Good shooter, defender, Love, rebounder, passer, shooter.
Ball & Deng - would just eat up a ton of cap space and I have zero idea who would go the Lakers since Ball/Deng make 25m
You're exactly right. Bridges (term, not the player) are what this team needs. We need to start to win. This move alleviates our logjam of young talent and gives everyone their spots. Bender is our future PF, JJ is our future (current) SF, and Okobo is (hopefully he pans out) our future PG.
Hill/Okobo
Book/whatever
JJ/Bridges
Love/Bender
Ayton/whatever
We get competitive to attract future FAs when Hill and Love are aging, while still getting our now trimmed core the playing time with Vets they need. Everyone is so worried about playing our young guys to get them experience, but losing games because we don't have the talent to win isn't the experience they need. This is exactly the kind of trade we need. We need to be relevant while remaining.
Looking at the trade machine, it would be hard to pull off. Need to include Chandler, Duds, and Knight along with the actual pieces, Chris and Warren just to make the numbers work. Probably need another team involved. But if we can pull off Hill, who is a steady low maintenance PG who can run our offense and Love who steps in and immediately makes us better, we make a run at the playoffs and don't look back for a long time.
