Detroit lands their two way second star, Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi might be enough to push Detroit over the top himself. Reports say that for Detroit to land him they have to trade either Duren or Ausar. I think Duren is the no brainer in this situation. Detroit moves other role players to add Aldama as their new starting PF next to Stew and Ty Jerome as the backup SG and sparkplug off the bench. Detroit could use the $15M NTMLE to land a backup Center or another athletic wing (Keon Ellis). Detroit also still has its 1st round pick to add to the roster. Bring back Tobias, Javonte, and Huerter and this team is DEEP with a higher floor AND ceiling: expect them in the ECF.

Cade, Ausar, Kawhi, Aldama, Stewart // Tobias, Jenkins, Jerome, Green, Huerter, Reed, Rookie, NTMLE

Clippers trade their two best players for a 22 year old All NBA Center, the #16 pick in this draft, two other 1sts, three 2nds, and significant cap space for next offseason where they will land another lottery pick. The Clippers could be title contention in as little as 3 years if they get their draft picks right. I’d imagine Darius Acuff at 5 and Morez Johnson at 16. This gives them a really solid core and big man rotation to grow and compete with Wemby (Duren, Johnson, Yanic).

Memphis moves two role players, a salary filler (KCP), and the #16 pick for their PG of the next 5 years in Darius Garland and a high potential athletic wing in Ron Holland.
