What If Blockbuster v2


SUCCESS

Compared to What If Blockbuster v1 (below), in this scenario...

Boston goes for more depth, with Reid and Kornet, while adding 6'10 19 year old Beringer as another PF prospect, instead of Gobert. An eventual starting five of White, DiVincenzo, Tatum, Reid and Queta, with Pritchard and Kornet off the bench, isn't winning 60 games. But it's solid. They'd need to add a backup PG and PF/C. In this trade, the FRP that went to Minnesota in v1, goes to Boston instead, giving them two FRPs.

Minnesota rolls out a dangerous starting five of Fox, Ant, McDaniels, Randle and Gobert. I don't think anyone would want to see them in a seven game series. They don't get a future FRP, but they keep Gobert.

San Antonio remains the same as in Trade v1.

Trade Scenario v1: If these teams decided to make significant changes, while maintaining their core ideologies, this surprisingly makes sense for all of them and the players involved.

If I'm Boston, I'm keeping Jaylen Brown and running it back. But if he's out? Boston need a legit starting center and getting Gobert, with Dante back for the playoffs, and a future first, is a pretty good return. Maybe they could get an additional SRP or two as well.

Minnesota need a starting PG, and while Fox struggled with a high ankle sprain in the Finals, he'd be a fantastic fit next to Ant in the backcourt. Losing Gobert hurts, a lot. But this iteration of the team has had two seasons together, and they might've hit their ceiling. If I'm Minnesota, I'd try to keep Gobert bc of Wemby and Joker. But a change in philosophy of how they play around Ant, might be needed. Minnesota also gets a little younger with this trade.

San Antonio just saw that Dylan Harper needs to start next to Castle. Losing depth with Fox and Kornet isn't easy. But a 29 year old Jaylen Brown, a former Finals MVP, next to Harper, Castle, Cassell and Wemby, is probably the best starting squad in the league. With Champagnie, Bryant and KJ off the bench, they just need one or two more veteran bigs off the bench ala Rui Hachimura and Andre Drummond.
