Interesting Swap of Contracts and Picks


SUCCESS

To be clear here, Fanspo doesnt have updated draft picks. So the bucks get 14, 18 and 50 overall this year, along with raptors 2nd next year. Hornets get 10 Raptors get no picks here.

The rationale for the hornets. Get some rim protection and defense. Trade up to 10 to take Yaxel over GSW and OKC. Can run this lineup next year:

Lamelo-Kon-Miller-Yaxel-Turner

a playoff worthy lineup with actual defenders. Lamelo health is the only concern.

For the raptors, this is 100% about getting off of Poetls contract. Kuzma is expiring, provides depth for oft-injured BI. Gary Harris provides solid rotational 3 and D depth. Given the difference in contract lengths, some seconds and battle are attached.

For the bucks. We need playable wings. Turner is possibly not working chemistry wise with Giannis. We get 2 FRPs in a stacked draft instead of 1. This would allow us to dramatically change the roster in 1 offseason.

We could run this lineup potentially next year. Philon-Rollins-Bridges-Giannis-Poetl/Stienbach/Portis With KPJ-AJ Green-TP plus whatever bigs aren't starting off the bench. Could be a really good lineup if the young guys work out. Even if they end up trading Giannis I would not mind doing this deal, gets us more young talent, more assets. Gets us off of Turner who does not fit the timeline. I might ask for a little more from Charlotte if Giannis is traded, because Bridges goes from an asset to a nuetral due to his 1 year contract. But a protected first or more seconds should do it.
