Given the unusual season and economics of Covid, a draft with great parity, and teams with cap space there is a prime opportunity for teams to make moves of a daring nature.
Minny is knocking knocking on the door of respectability and Glen Taylor has the first pick. He is also looking to unload some or all of the equity of theam. Opportunity.
GSW still has the best back court in the game/history, and poised to contend. Would it be wise to move the 2nd pick for pieces that help them win now?
Hornets could use about everything.They are still shedding salary but are rebuilding. No telling if they draft or move.
Bulls. A lot of pieces on a young roster. I have no feel for them. New GM, new coach.
Cleveland: they have young guard, Love, and Drummond. Not far from being respectable. Nalod has not read this but it makes sense to flip Love for Haywood. Cav’s need Glue and they get Loves contract off the books. Haywood has one year left. Celts get a stretch 4 they need. Tatum and Brown stay at the wingS with Kemba . speaking of Celts, they trade us all their picks for Mitch and get an inexpensive rim protector to pair with Theis.
ATL: Not as interesting. Lots of pieces last few year and could move up To get Ball? Pair with Trae Young?
Pistons. Rebuilding and a healthy Griffith has two years left on his contract. He has had plenty of time to get healed. It’s 37 and 39 mil each of those years. seems silly for us to take that as we are not that far ahead of them but to each his own. Christian wood value I have read should top at 15mil. Griff trade potential is an interesting under discussed read. He was playing at a high level before he got hurt.
Knicks: Can spend all day here. So many possibilities making daft night interesting. Celts have 3 first round picks.
Maybe the formula is we move Mitch and our 8 and were do we end up with? Leon, Brock, Perrin, Payne, an Perry all make for interesting room come draft night. Even if we do nothing it would be fun to have a peek into what is being thrown about in the room where it happens. And we ain’t in it!!!!
