1. Send Kyle Lowry, Omer Yurtseven, Unprotected 2023 1st, & A 2024 Option To Swap 1sts To The Indiana Pacers For Myles Turner
Why ?: It’s time to move Bam Adebayo to the PF position & use him as a defensive ace that can guard positions 1-4. He’s better off as a forward in my opinion. Myles Turner would be the perfect center next to Bam due to his ability to protect the rim & space the floor. A Bam & Myles front court would easily be the best in the league.
2. Trade 2026 OKC/DAL/PHI 1st(Least Favorable) To The Detroit Pistons For Kelly Olynyk
Why ?: To fully commit to Bam Adebayo playing the four full time. Olynyk is another center that can space the floor & shoot from deep.
3. Deal Duncan Robinson & 2028 Top 5 Protected 1st To The Memphis Grizzlies For Tyus Jones In A Sign & Trade Agreement
Why ?: Miami will need a new point guard after moving Lowry away, & who better than Tyus Jones to bring aboard. He’s a great playmaker that can set up his teammates & make the right decision 10 times out of 10.
4. Draft Dalen Terry(PG, 6’7 200) With The #27 Pick In The 2022 NBA Draft
Why ?: Terry is a well built guard with a wingspan over 7 feet. He’s an energetic & athletic two way player that can attack the rim to score, get assists, grab rebounds, & defend well.
5. Resign Victor Oladipo To A Three Year Contract Worth $33 Million
Why ?: Oladipo played nicely for the Heat during the playoffs after his return from injuries. His great defensive abilities haven’t gotten worse & offensively, he wasn’t bad at all. A full training camp & season of Oladipo would simply make Miami an even more dangerous squad.
6. Bring Back Goran Dragic On A One Year Deal Worth The Minimum
Why ?: Jimmy Butler misses him, & the Heat can definitely use the guard depth & veteran leadership.
7. Resign Dwayne Dedmon To A One Year Deal Worth The Minimum
Why ?: Dedmon is a nice backup center that can block shots & space the floor.
8. Resign Caleb Martin To A One Year Deal Worth The Minimum
Why ?: He played well with the minutes he received & should be retained.
9. Sign Cody Martin To A One Year Deal Worth The Minimum
Why ?: Caleb’s twin brother.

——————————————————
Why Indiana Does This?
They replace Turner with a young center in Yurtseven & open up more minutes for Isaiah Jackson. Westbrook is a huge expiring contract to prepare them for the 2023 loaded free agency class. Plus they’ll still have Malcolm Brogdon to flip for even more assets. And let’s not forget about the two 1sts, potential swap, & future 2nd they receive here.
——————————————————
Why Memphis Does This?
In order to not lose Tyus Jones for nothing. Robinson would be a great shooter to have off the bench around Morant & an extra future 1st to work with is always nice.
——————————————————
Why Detroit Does This?
Acquiring a future 2nd & saving $12.8 million, bringing their total cap space to a whopping $57 million. That money can be used towards resigning Bagley lll & bringing aboard free agents like Colin Sexton, Malik Monk, Miles Bridges, & Deandre Ayton.
——————————————————
Why Los Angeles Does This?
Pretty simple, they move on from Westbrook & acquire two better players fit wise. Lowry is a much nicer off ball player & defender than Westbrook. He’s also capable of being a secondary playmaker. And Hield is the 3pt shooter Lebron desperately needs around him.
