Forgot to add '27 pick from houston
Lakers first is top 10 protected
Plan For the rebuild:
Trade steph for FVV, Eason, Thompson, picks
Trade draymond to play with his buddy Lebron, for Rui, Vincent, a first, 2 seconds
trade long term money in Wiggins and Rui along with a first for Ben Simmons expiring contract
At the deadline trade Heild and Anderson for second round picks, Try to trade FVV
At the end of the season let let simmons, looney, GP2, Meltons contracts expire, Decline FVVs option, opening up tons of money
Extend Kuminga and Moody + other young players that are availible to extend at some point
Draft one of the top 3-5 prospects at the 2025 draft after tanking, trade up if necessary.
Fire Steve Kerr, hire a coach to develop players
Develop young core during 2025-2026 season, tank again and add another top 5 pick
use cap space to add big name veterans like the rockets did in 2023 to fill gaps in roster
If the youngsters are playing well and players Like Thompson, Podz, Eason, Kuminga play like stars, use assets to trade for a star on the market and become contenders.
Let me Know your Thoughts... The trades aren't perfect they are just the blueprint
