Liberate all the salary cap possible with LeBron, Hachimura & Kleber
Resign Austin Reaves to a contract similar like Sengun. (Forgiving some money to stay in LA and build a contender with Luka)
Resign Kennard (is Malik Beasley) & Hayes (maybe 12M x 2y).
Sign Peyton Watson with a 100Mx4y contract, elite atleticisim, good defender and has shown he has improved a lot his offensive site. A 20+M year contract will be impossible to Denver to match if they dont liberate salary cap, because they dont want to be in the aprons. Another solution could be Tari Eason or Andrew Wiggins (if he declines his PO to sign a long contract).
Sign Robert Williams III, he has been healthy this season and with restricted minutes he is impacting a lot in defense. He will be a very good option as a backup center to give more depth in the position.
TRADE WITH THE PELICANS, they receive Vando, Ayton & Dalton + 2031 FRP & 2033 FRP + 2028, 2030, 2032 FRP SWAPS for Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey and Yves Missi. 2 great 3&Ds, Herb is and elite defender but hasnt improved his offensive game and has some injury problems and Saddiq Bey who is playing really good. Bet on Yves Missi, he has the motor, the atleticism and the abilities to be a very good center to pair with Luka. Good rim-protector and rebounder x36min but seems that Pels does not trust a lot him, obviusly they are betting right now in Derik Queen to be his starting center alongside Zion, Murphy, Fears and Dejounte?.
Draft Morez Johnson Jr. with the 2026 FRP, a atletic PF/C who can defend 1-5, atletic and can stretch the floor, he can be long term with Thiero very good 3&D wings alongside Luka.
* PG LUKA | SMART | BRONNY
* SG REAVES | KENNARD | BUFKIN
* SF WATSON | SADDIQ | THIERO
* PF HERB J | LARAVIA | MOREZ JJ
* CT MISSI | ROBERT W III | HAYES
With all of these they will still be under the first apron and will have cap space to make some movements. Another option could be sign a center in FA, like Hartenstein or Kessler but seems more difficult.
