5 Team Deal for the Pistons to acquire Irving and Murphy

Potential starting 5 for Detroit:

• PG: Cunnigham

• SG: Irving

• SF: Murphy III

• PF: Ausar

• C: Claxton

Bench: Jenkins, Huerter, Stewart, Green, #21 FRP

The Pistons sell high on Duren, who looked miserable in the Playoffs and get Irving + Murphy for 3 FRPs. Claxton for Duren isn't too bad as well.

Dallas:

Dallas trades Irving to build around Flagg:

• Pick Flemmings at #9 in the 2026 Draft to get your Franchise PG

• Resign Lively to a 4yr/$100M extension in Summer

• Keep Christie and PJ as Key pieces

• Try to Trade Klay at the Deadline for a 2nd

• Get Aj Mitchell in Summer 27

• Sign more key pieces with Free Cap in 2027

• Tank in the next season to get another Top 10 pick ---

Pelicans:

Just do it and take the picks

Nets:

They basically have to start winning games now, so why not pairing Duren with MPJ and Acuff + Maybe trade for Markannen or sign Peyton Watson

Hornets:

Potential starting 5 for Charlotte:

• PG: L.Ball

• SG: Miller

• SF: Knuppel

• PF: John Collins (Trade Bridges and sign him)

• C: Diabaté

Bench: White, Green, James, #13 FRP, Gafford

Charlotte would completely agree to this 100%

Because the Mavs only trade Irving, if they get their own pick. If they don't Irving stays and the 2027 FRP would probably be between 12 and 20.

Gafford and the other 2 picks are more valuable than that.
