Let’s use the trade deadline to get to a reasonable rotation that creates minutes for our highest upside developmental prospects. Sengun/Bruno/Garuba Jabari/Garuba/Eason Eason/Tate/KPJ Green/KPJ or Christopher TyTy/KPJ no more than 10 in the rotation. trade KMJ/EG, Nix & Boban as filler. Gary can be my 12th man anytime. The other trade candidate is Christopher (or KPJ). As long as we have KPJ there’s not gonna be enough time to develop Christopher. Last year I would have said Christopher was our 4th best prospect.
Cutting/trading Nix would trim a lot of the fat. [Real PG] | TyTy Jalen | Josh? KJ? | Mathews? Jabari | Tari Şengün | Garuba?
Pathway to what? Playing time? Starting? Stardom? Edit: Wait, what? You have Tari starting? in OP. Or did you mean [pathway for] Kenyon Martin Jr.?
was referring to J.R.‘a proposal which I like, but didn’t have a prominent role for Tari. I view Tari as a core player.
Waive Gordon for the $20m in cap space next season not some other team's terrible contracts, let him go where he wants. Win-win. Anything offered for Matthews, Christopher, Boban or Nix is accepted. Finish the season with this 10: Porter-Washington Green-Tate Martin-Eason Smith-Garuba Sengun-Fernando Then you add a top 5 pick and a lot of cap space to the mix. Anything can happen. You could land Wembanyama #1 and offer a contract to Harden. Harden-Green-Martin-Smith-Wembanyama Washington-Porter-Tate-Eason-Garuba/Sengun Redemption arc Uncle Harden mode where he's facilitating to a rebuilt Rockets squad. Maybe you get #2 and land Myles Turner in free agency? Henderson-Green-Martin-Smith-Turner Washington-Porter-Tate-Eason-Sengun/Garuba
Trade KPJ+Tate+Gordon+KMJ+ Bucks pick for Turner and Duarte. Sengun/Bruno Turner/Garuba Eason/Matthews Duarte Green/Ty
none of them have trade value, second round pick is the best we can get. Instead of trading, I would just waive EG and KPJ asap.
Use On/Off to make these decisions or nah? https://www.nba.com/stats/team/1610612745/onoffcourt-summary?dir=D&sort=DIFF_NET_RATING
David Nwaba who is excellent in the fast break and a solid defender (though injury prone) and Sterling Brown who proved to be an excellent shooter during his time with us are both now playing in the G-League. . . . But Nix remains on our roster. Let that marinate for a second.
Porter.....TyTy..........................( Scooter Henderson / Nick Smith ) Green...... (Porter)...Tate...............( C Whitmore / A Thompson / B Miller / A Black / Dillion Mitchell ) Jabari......Eason Sengun....Bruno / Garuba.....( Wembanyama / Dereck Lively / Kel'el Ware ) Trim the fat of: Eric Gordon Kenyon (want out......don't let the door hit you as you leave) Nix Mathews Boban with picks from trades of the fat.....package to move up in draft *Blue: possible move if PG drafted *Red: possible draft selection **true Point Guard is not necessary as recent successful teams are proving if you have playmakers in position 1-4.....at Center is just a plus.
