WHO SAYS NO?

(fyi, this works financially given the team options are accepted and the Duren contract is accurate)

Pistons add a bonafide second option who fits the timeline in Trey Murphy, while also acquiring more shooting around Cade and Ausar with AJ Green and Myles Turner. Not willing to pay Duren that much money so end up S&T to acquire Murphy.

Cade/Robinson/Murphy/Thompson/Turner Jenkins/AJ Green/Javonte Green/Harris/Stewart Sasser/Lanier/Moore/Reed

GM Troy Weaver re-acquires his former first round pick and All-NBA center Jalen Duren. Pelicans have been searching for an elite center for years and finally grab one, along with pick 21 in this years draft. At just 22 years old, Duren has an opportunity to grow and excel in a rebuilding Pelicans team.

The Milwaukee Bucks trade Giannis Antetokounmpo and the fire sale begins. They trade Myles Turner who no longer fits their timeline, and look to gain young, promising players and draft capital. They do just that, acquiring Ron Holland and Yves Missi, who both showed flashes of their true potential in limited minutes. Bucks took a shot on Ousmane Dieng, and they look to replicate that success with Holland and/or Missi, while also receiving 3 future second round picks
