Trying to rebuild the Wizards I ended up with this trade. I have so many questions about it, so feel free to leave your opinion

1- Memphis gets a BIG upgrade at the SF position, so Bane plays SG and Smart comes from the bench. Size wise fits better than having Smart at SG and Bane at SF but, having Vince Williams, do they need an upgrade at SF? If their starting 5 is Morant/Bane/Vince/Jaren and the center that they sign + Smart from the bench, it looks good for me, but I don't know if Jenkins is leaving Smart at the bench

2- If they make this trade happen, the starters are Morant/Bane/Kuzma/Jaren and their new center (their finances keep untouched with the trade and you save the money you were going to pay to your draft pick, so their objectives for the center position will probably remain the same). Can see Smart coming from the bench if Kuzma starts. But how will Kuzma adapt to the SF position, with him being a below-the-average 3 point shooter?

3- Memphis probably will trade the number 9 because it doesn't fit the timeline + saves them $5.7 million from the pick and gets them just below the tax. But can you make a bigger trade with that pick, even changing the other assets? Do the Wizards want 2 lottery picks from this draft?

4- For the Grizzlies to trade those assets is what makes the trade financially better, keeping them below the tax. But do the Grizzlies even want to trade GG? Why would the Wizards want the Konchar contract? (couldn't find a way to trade him to a third team without adding picks)

5- With the Wizards having to extend Kispert, do you trade him now for valuable assets and keep Kennard, or do you extend him and trade Kennard's expiring contract, even if the assets you get are not that good? Can't see the Wizards keeping the two players all season long, they are almost the same player

I guess if I have that many questions is because the trade isn't that good hahahahaha but all your opinions are welcome
