Toronto might be the best fit for Sabonis. They have the defense and wing versatility to make up for his defensive shortcomings. Here, they add their new starting Center (who can eat some of the playmaking duties), a rotational PG in Jenkins (who will compete with Walters and Shead), and solve one of their biggest problems (shooting) with AJ Green. It’s an all in type of move but makes them a legit top 4 team in the East.
Sacramento does what they have to to land the 22 year old All NBA Center- Jalen Duren. They hit the reset and are banking on Acuff, Clifford, Murray, Duren, plus two 1sts next year to start their rebuild.
Milwaukee is used for salary purposes. They effectively swap backup Centers (Turner for Poletl) and backup sharp shooting wings (Green for Robinson), while adding a high potential forward in Ron Holland AND pick up a 1st for their troubles (and downgrades).
Detroit FINALLY adds a stretch big who can defend the post with Myles Turner. They also add a clear secondary ball handler with Quickley. Raynaud is thrown in to help round out the Pistons big man room as they like to have 3 solid guys, which also allows them to play two of Turner, Reed, and Raynaud at a time, creating a two big lineup. The most important aspect is the fact that Detroit adds two future 1sts and a pick swap to be able to make a big swing at the deadline or next offseason.
Cade, IQ, Ausar, Collins, Turner // Okorie, Joe, Huerter, Green, Reed, Raynaud // Prince, Lanier, Harris, Smith
