However, based on what our relevant insiders have said, the organization does not view him as an untouchable piece, and has demonstrated that in some of their maneuvering. There is no reasonable reason that he could not be included in trade, specifically one that brings back a better piece. Now they certainly aren't shopping him for shopping's sake, as he is an outstanding player, but he could absolutely be moved in a consolidation type deal.
Interestingly, this is something we have seen with Sengun's closest contemporary, in Sabonis, a promising young player, who was traded not once, but twice, for a superior player.
The first time sabonis was traded he wasn’t really a player of any note though.

Raps will try and add more talent and try and get better from within. They only started "tanking" once Yak and Barnes got hurt.
They will hope to see growth from Barnes, IQ, RJ, Dick and Ochai to go along with the stable vets Yak and KO.
Trent Jr is a UFA, what happens with him us a complete guess, just like last summer
Brown, is his TO picked up? Traded beforehand to a team that doesn't pick it up to clear cap?
Boucher, seems to be on the outs
The big question is their pick. Do they keep it at 6? Do they move up? Do they drop out and lose the pick? Questions that can't be answered right now.
But they will be trying to be a playoff team regardless of what happens and the offseason will be treated as such.

DAL needs to figure out whether Green is the 3&D guard in the starting lineup, DJJ is better than him defensively, but DJJ problems is lack of spacing, and need an offensive guard off the bench after THJ regressed since January and Hardy isn't breaking out, but the biggest question is on the sidelines, Kidd was a foot and half out of the door in January, it took 73 points from Luka in ATL and a tight win in ORL despite Kidd making a late game mistake to fend off the axe, team pulled off a 7-0 run after that, then again the team went on 1-5 losing stretch that they responded from with 6-1 run.
If Mavs don't finish the season strong, he's getting replaced.
I think Kidd should be replaced regardless, he's just so bad at his job and always deflects blame on everyone else, that's not a leader. Dallas also needs to part ways with THJ and Green, and somehow get a starting caliber SF

What does adding more talent look like for Toronto?
For Indy it's resign Siakam and hope for a jump through internal improvement and the team having a full offseason together.NYG wrote:There's a few teams where I'm not totally sure what their off-season plan is... could fans of these teams let me know.

Well they possibly have a top 6 pick as well as Indy's pick(15-20), and Detroits 2nd.
They could use Brown, Bouchers cap hits + picks for an upgrade.
They have options...but really they added lots of new guys and they need time playing together. So that's why I say improvement from within.

THJ + ?? = Cam Johnson

Besides a scoring star?
Honestly, a cheaper, younger version of OG would fit IQ, RJ, Barnes and Yak perfectly.
They went for having lots of 6'8-6'9 guys, to very little. Adding an athletic backup C who can make a 3 sure would be nice and fit a need.

Far more than the Jazz would be willing to offer. Im not even sure where Randle fits for the Jazz either on the court or timeline wise
