    I thought the Butler + #11 trade for AD was a no brainer for both sides. I'm surprised they didn't execute on that. GSW are a perfect fit for AD.

    How about we open up the Giannis to Miami trade to do the following:

    Detroit

    IN:

    - Myles Turner
    - Tyler Herro
    - Knecht

    OUT:

    - Jalen Duren (Bucks)
    - Caris Levert (Bucks)
    - Duncan Robinson (Bucks)
    - 1x 2nd (Bucks)

    Bucks

    IN:

    - Jalen Duren
    - Duncan Robinson
    - Caris Levert
    - Jared Vando
    - JJJ
    - Kasp
    - 3x Heat Firsts
    - 1x Heat Second
    - 1x Heat Swap
    - 1x Lakers Firsts
    - 1x Lakers Second
    - 1x Lakers Swap
    - 1x Pistons Second

    OUT:

    - Giannis (Heat)
    - Bobby Portis (Heat)
    - Turner (Detroit)

    Heat

    IN:

    - Giannis
    - Bobby Portis

    OUT:

    - Herro (Detroit)
    - JJJ (Bucks)
    - Kasp (Bucks)
    - Ware (Lakers)
    - 3x Firsts (Bucks)
    - 1x Second (Bucks)
    - 1x Swap (Bucks)

    Lakers

    IN:

    - Ware

    OUT:

    - Vando (Bucks)
    - Knecht (Detroit)
    - 1x First (Bucks)
    - 1x Second (Bucks)
    - 1x Swap (Bucks)

    Basically the current Giannis trade, except Detroit sends Duren, Caris Levert & Duncan Robinson for Turner & Herro. Since the bucks have Duren, they are happy to send out Ware for a 1st, a second and a swap. We send Vando & Knecht to match contracts for Detroit and the Bucks and also get about 12m in cap relief.

    Isaiah Stewart was a target of mine, he is under contract for 14.5m. He is one of the best rim protectors in the league. He also got traded to the Grizzlies this week for 3x seconds.

    No interest no need for a guy who might divide the locker room averaging 2 points a game.

    Good point dog. And maybe that’s the intention. Get Jaylon get the assets or get AD.

    Sabonis makes alot of sense for Charlotte.

    Charlotte have:

    White
    Miller / Allen
    Knueppel /
    Naz Reid / O'Neale
    Sabonis / Diabete

    Adding Sabonis who is a dynamite passer to that team is probably a top 3 offence. Miller 38% on 8.2 attempts and Knueppel 43% on 7.9 attempts are the two best shooters in the league. You got Coby that is 39% on 5.2 attempts and Naz Reid that is 38% on 5.8 attempts.

    There are rumours of Giddey as well. I don't know how they could pull it off, but either or both of those guys would be a high octane offence.
