I think Bucks should consider moving brook lopez on the offseason considering they need to expand their posibilities to gain depth, and i think the pelicans would be interested in getting him with all his experience, rim defense and the shooting complementing zion. Also the value isnt much, a sign and trade with naji marshall and larry nance plus the 22 pick this draft is good value i guess, and pelicans dont really need that pick as they have many young players plus the lakers pick. --- After that i would do a trade with the bulls for caruso with connaughtoon to match salaries plus that pelicans pick and portlands second round (34) which bucks already have. Maybe the value is a bit low but i think with caruso being its last year and the bulls only having one pick in this draft maybe they would be interested. --- With their pick in the draft (23 if i remember well) i think they should draft a wing like Ryan Dunn or Kevin Mccullar who are located at that range in almost every mock draft to provide much needed defense for them. With all this plus the free agents signings u see this would be the results: --- ---
PG: Dame ----Reserves: beverley(resign), shake milton
SG: Caruso ----Reserves: AJ Green, Beauchamp
SF: K Middleton ----Reserves: Ryan Dunnn/kevin Mccullar (one of those),
PF: Giannis ----Reserves: Naji Marshall, andre jackson jr
C: Larry Nance ----Reserves: Bobby Portis, mcgee --- Bobby could be the starter it doesnt really matter, and the last of the 15 would have to be thanasis of course he is not going anywhere. Beverley im guessing he could resign tho maybe not if not any other FA guard would be i guess. ---
In conclusion i think this leaves a very competitive team while making it younger and better in defense with,in my opinion, realistic trades and signings, maybe the caruso one was a bit too much i dont know you can tell me. If you have read this thank you for taking the time and tell me your opinion on this matter.
Ps: forget the theis signing i just remembered it
