++Out++:

• Siakam

• OPJ

• Boucher

• Thad

• Flynn

• Koloko (sorry, but this respiratory issue scares me and I bet Atlanta would happily take the chance on a low cost big)

++In++:

• Okongwu

• Bufkin

• Johnson

• Bogdanovic

• Fournier (lol)

• 2 1st

• 3 2nd (one Detroit unprotected 2024 so near a first)

Fyi this would probably be 2 seperate trades, one 3 team btwn MEM/ATL/TOR and one TOR/NYK.

Creates a really strong young core. Clears room for Scottie and reorgs the backup wing/big situation. Acquire Bufkin and draft picks. Can resign OG, GTJ, Precious and Okongwu with all those guys off the books now and Scottie still waiting for the rookie extension. Also allows us to sign Dowtin or another big after camp as a roster spot was cleared.

Think this new team as constructed (below) would be middle of the pack in the east this year and set up for success in subsequent years.

++Starters++: Dennis, GTJ, OG, Scottie, Jak

++Bench++: Bufkin, Dick, Achuiwa, Okongwu, Bogdanovic, Johnson, McDaniels, Fournier, Temple and one more from training camp
