Let’s say Doncic is still available with the 4th Pick. I would offer Augustine + Biz + our 6th Pick for the 4th Pick + Parson + McLemore. After that trade I would call Miami and offer them Fournier + Ross + Vuc for Dragic and Whiteside. Also try to get another PG in the draft (ideally Okobo). Dragic/Mack/Okobo or another Rookie Doncic/Simmons/McLemore Isaac/ Parson/Simmons Gordon/Isaac/Parson Whiteside/Birch/FA (Speights) I think Dragic is a good mentor for Doncic and still a good basketball-player. Whiteside has some issues. But he is a good rim-protecter and after last year with Miami he has something to proof.

I think talentwise Whiteside would be a upgarde to what we have now. I agree with you, that his attitude is a risk. But why gave Miami him that contract? Maybe something happen in the last year that we all don't know. His prize is at the bottom now and we don't have to give up much for him. Worst case: we get a player with high salary for the next 2 years. Best case: slove our problem at the center position.

Buy low sell high! I think we don't have to give up much to get a player who was one of the better Centers not to long ago. The last time we got a player with a good playoff-run we overpaid for Biz. That's why I am not that high to go after Rozier.

After the first round of the playoffs, I am sure there are some unhappy teams. So I was thinking which player could be available or what can we offer the other teams. So let us start… WAS: After a disappointing season and some rumors about issues in the locker-room, maybe they look for some changes. Could Wall be available? What would it take to get him? Could we flip our Centers (Biz for Gortat)? MIL: They need definitely a Center who play some D. Could we trade Biz to the Bucks without taking back a bad contract? IND: Can’t see any possible trade MIA: I think the days from Whiteside in Miami are over. What would it take to bring him to Orlando? OKC: They need to upgrade their bench and/or SG. Are they willing to trade Adams for that? Would a packet of Fournier and Vuc (or Biz) be enough? MIN: Can’t see any possible trade POR: Are they still believe in the backcourt with Lillard and McCollum? Is there a chance to get one of them and what would it take? SAN: What will happen with Leonard? Is there any chance to get him without give away all our assets (Gordon, Isaac and our 1rd pick)? I think many of the questions depends to what happens in the draft-lottery and how high we are on the rookies. If we pick somewhere between 4-6 I would take Young and try to trade for Whiteside. Maybe a packet with our 2rd Pick, Ross and Vuc (or Biz) could be enough. After that, our roster would look like this: Young/Augustin/Mack Fournier/Simmons/Afflalo Isaac/Mario?/Iwandu Gordon/Isaac/Mario? Whiteside/Biz/Speights

High risk high reward. It would be a gamble but in the weak east it could pay out.

you misunderstood me. I would resign Gordon and keep him. Trade Isaac and our 1st rounder.

I would resign Gordon and then offer the Spurs a packet with Isaac and our 1rd pick. Maybe we could do a 3-team deal like this: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y889x2jl Would definitely be a "win now move" and i would only do it if you are 100% sure Leonard is healthy.

How high are you on Dennis Smith jr. after his first season with Dallas? Playing around with the trade machine i came out with 2 trades. 1. Trade Byiombo, Fournier and our 1rd Pick this year to Dallas for Smith jr. and Barnes 2. Trade Vuc and Ross to Miami for Whiteside http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y96r2ky2 Smith jr./Augustine/FA Barnes/Simmons/FA (Afflalo?) Isaac/Barnes/Iwundu Gordon/Isaac/FA (Speights?) Whiteside/Birch/FA (Speights?) This team would be outstanding on D. In the weak eastern conference we could make a good run.

Let's say we somehow get Doncic. Would you try to trade for Dragic? http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y94k6k35 (not sure Miami would do this trade) This groupe would be fun to watch! Dragic/Doncic/Isaac/Gordon/Whiteside with Augustine, Simmons and Biyombo as benchplayers.

Would you take back the contract from Batum (trade Fournier and Mack or Augustin) to get the pick from Charlotte?

https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/249074/Kawhi-Leonard-Spurs-Have-Tremendous-Disconnect-Right-Now If there is something true on this story, I would love to trade for Leonard! Maybe we could offer a trade like this (include our 2019 draftpick) http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ycosnnoh Wasn't Pop very high on Isaac? I know the chances are very small, but a team with Leonard, Gordon and Trae Young would be awesome! Young / Augustin Ross / Simmons Leonard / Simmons Gordon / Gasol Gasol / Biyombo / Birch

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yc64w4dg Include Knicks and Washingtons frist round pick and we have a deal :-)

Trade Fournier, Vuc and Mario to Dallas for Barnes, Noel and the right to switch picks in the next draft. Roster this year Payton/Augustin/Mack Simmons/Ross/Afflalo Barnes/Isaac/Iwandu Gordon/Isaac/Speights Noel/Bis/Speights Then also try to trade Payton + Mack to the Lakers for Clarkson Roster after the Lakers-trade: Clarkson/Augustin/ Simmons/Ross/Afflalo Barnes/Isaac/Iwandu Gordon/Isaac/Speights Noel/Bis/Speights In summer draft a PG (Young or Sexton) and sign a C (if possible resign Noel) Roster next season: Young/Clarkson/Augusitn Ross/Simmons/Clarkson Barnes/Isaac/Simmons Gordon/Isaac/Barnes Noel or FA/Bis/Birch If our cap space doesen’t allow us to sign a Center, trade Ross or Simmons and Augustin for a Center Young/Clarkson Ross or Simmons/Clarkson Barnss/Isaac Gordon/Isaac New Center/Bis If Isaac develops into a starter, shift Barnes to SG Young/Clarkson Barnes/Clarkson/Ross or Simmons Isaac/Barnes/Ross or Simmons Gordon/Isaac/Barnes Noel or new C/Bis/Birch

Would the Jazz do this trade? http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yb7f3r9v if they don't do it with Biz we could replace him with Vuc.

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9pm9qko ORL gets Adams & Clarkson OKC gets Fournier, Vuc & Randle LAL gets PG13
