unless someone unexpected becomes available.

That's the key - patience. Players are going to come available with the new cap taking effect.

I hear ya, but guards that are at least 6’4 that can distribute, shoot, and play D don’t exactly grow on trees.

I see you turned the salary cap off in this scenario lol.

Not to mention that DLo and Maxey would be a horrific defensive backcourt. Can’t have those 2 on the court at the same time for extended periods of time

Davis hasn't looked good, but he hasn't gotten any chance to play. Very few guys can excel at pinch hitting. Washington is a really bad organization with really bad coaching. I'm more willing to take reclamation projects off bad teams because I think there's a higher probability of the change of scenery helping.

Two more team-controlled years on his deal. If he truly is a bust and the jumper just isn't going to happen, we could always decline team option and let him go.

Agree. I think we need to do more of this kind of thing, finding potential diamonds in the rough as opposed to always paying after someone else has 'unearthed' the diamond. That's an example of the 'hard work' I'd love to see Morey, Nurse, and Co. do in rebuilding this roster instead of taking the lazy "pay the third star" route.

They're going to have to do both to win with Jo, primarily because after a big money guy comes in, they will need to fill it out with a bunch of cheap guys.

[the_process]

I would like to take a shot on John Collins. Shouldn't cost too much, and tie it into a S&T of Tobias to DET to stay over the cap.

Ideally Lauri for all the picks would be part of it, too.

[MoeGreene]

For sure, no cap as this is just a bunch of players I would pick for the role. Pick 3.

The problem is, there is no real PG as a free agent that is ok. Its either Russell or Fultz, that's it.

Also, there is no real SG that is worth the money. So, I would rather go with another distributor on offense and hope for the best on defense with Nurse's ideas.

Not saying he’s ideal by any means…but Dinwiddie is a solid option and available. Don’t know what he’s going to get in free agency, but if he can be had at a reasonable price for just cap space I think it’s a route definitely worth exploring.

[the_process]

Just gonna throw my 1st idea out there:

CHI gets Harris (S&T 4-100), McCollum, and rights to player drafted at 16
NOP gets Melton (S&T 3-45), Reed, 26 LAC/OKC/HOU 1st, and 28 LAC 1st
PHI gets Caruso, Ingram, and Collins
UTA gets LaVine

[stormi]

John Collins would be an interesting buy low candidate.

He's a monster on the glass, a secondary rim protector and can space the floor a little bit.

You just have to deal with Ainge to acquire him. I like all three players though.

That starting five would be the most complete of the Embiid era by a mile.

[76ciology]

Yeah, Ingram at SF, then a rebounder at PF then Embiid at C for me is the way to go to counter Embiid’s lack of lift.

Maxey/Lowry(min)
Caruso/Council
Ingram/Oubre(MLE)
Collins/Batum(min)
Embiid/Drummond(min)

Yea I do dat. A tad short in the shooting problem but doable.

Does Utah do it?

[LeonJordanJr24]

Oubre and Russ Westbrook fit so well here. Also like Ingram because he widens our window significantly and allows us to rely less on Embiid.

Pretty sure Utah has cap room. If they aren't trading Lauri they want to be competitive. Collins sucked for Utah this year. I have to imagine they both want him out and might be willing to pay a little to get him out. LaVine can easily be sold to fans as an upgrade and continues their push to making the playoffs.

Collins is a guy you have to give touches and run some stuff offensively for or he checks out. I think they can incorporate enough stuff. Excellent rebounder and secondary rim protector when motivated, and that would help Jo a lot.

Ingram is meh, but he should be acquirable fairly cheap especially if you take CJ off their hands and he can create offense.NO already has replacements in house for both, and if Zion stays on the diet and stays locked in, they could have a hell of a team in an another year or two. Maybe they get Vucevic from Chicago in this deal instead and let the Bulls have the picks?

Vuc-Zion-Jones-Murphy-Daniels with Hawkins as the 6th man. Would be a very, very nice squad.

Malcolm Brogdon. What use does Portland have for him exactly? There have to rebuild. I would not be surprised at all if he was moved this summer. Even though Dejaunte Murray signed an extension I cant believe that Hawks team thinks they have any path to being a contender they should be looking to break that team up and rebuild imo. They could have that come to Jesus moment sooner rather than later. Bruce Brown. His shooting can be kind of spotty but if he played anywhere near as well as he did for Denver during the title run he would be a great addition. There will be players. They dont have to be great players if we could add like 2 solid starters that really fit and some solid bench pieces this team would be way better.

Sixers out: Pick #16, LAC ‘28 1st, and ‘27 2nd
Sixers in: Murray and Collins

Hawks out: Murray and Capela
Hawks in: Phil ‘24 1st, LAC ‘28 1st, ‘24 2nd from Utah, and ‘27 2nd from Phil

Jazz out: Collins and ‘24 2nd

$10-15M left to spend + the exception-
Sign Taurean Prince and Drummond with cap space.

Keep Oubre with exception

Murray
Maxey
Prince/Oubre
Collins
Embiid/Drummond

I’d feel pretty good about that top 7. Just need to find 3-4 vet mins that can be solid 12 min a night contributors.

Those are the kinds of moves I can get behind. What are the FA options other than Prince?

Free agent forwards that are going to get less than 12ish mil are pretty limited. Kyle Anderson, Royce O’Neale, Derek Jones Jr, Gordon Hayward…maybe stretch it with a smallish lineup and go with Gary Trent Jr or Gary Harris. Buddy I guess is still an option too.

Jones, Jr. and Anderson are very viable options.

Don’t hate the idea of Jones Jr. Anderson isn’t a good enough shooter to be on the court for big mins imo.
I honestly don’t know too much about Prince’s defense (doesn’t seem like he’s a liability), but his offensive profile seems like a much better fit as a 3 point shooter with size.
