Warriors are doing great right now so we won't disrupt too much of what they have going on but instead add to their greatest flaws at the moment. Who's leaving Wiggins Payton Looney Gui 3 picks Who's coming Brandon ingram Val

The additions of Ingram and Val helps address two areas we suffer in past few seasons and even now. A solid 2nd star who can average 20 a night and pick up the slack if curry is hurt or having an off night. And helps our presence in the paint getting bullied by bigger teams.

We lose defense from wigs but he isn't consistent. Kerr and green can also hold Ingram accountable to become a better defender as he should be with his talents. It would be a win for him to approve and Wiggins gets back to less pressure where he can focus on his personal life which took a hit past 2 seasons. Looney is another hit but he played out of rotation last year and is conditional on some nights. Val will take over looney rebounding and help us guard better while having a lob threat. Tjd can still be there for when we need to go smaller. Great! Payton hasn't been consistent since he got his check. Losing him won't hurt as much especially with the arrival of pods and moodey.

Doing this note we keep our young talent. Podz, moodey, tjd, and kuminga. Kuminga can go back to starting and take over Wiggins role or roll off the bench where he's been a force. But we still have options. This also helps next year to land someone like giannis if he requests out. Renewing Ingram and kuminga they can be used as leverage to bag a greater star or be kept if we finish this season strong. We also don't lose too much in the roster and would just need to sign one more.

Now why would the wizards do it? They get draft picks which they need. We can throw in another 2nd if they want.

Why the Pelicans do it? They risk Ingram walking for nothing. This case they get Wiggins who can start and back up zion and Payton to strengthen their rotation and bench. Or in this case they can flip Wiggins and picks for a true center which they lack. Ayton. The Trailblazers can eventually flip Wiggins or use him as a vet while benefiting from the picks given.
