Danny should be on the phone with Dallas, offering the full DPE (with a wink wink agreement with Noel to re-sign a one year deal to increase his value) and whoever....Nader and a couple 2nd rounders.
Painfully obvious after the LA games that another big should be our 1B biggest need besides bench scoring. Noel is by far the best option for our scheme.
Once Memphis bottoms out officially, we should then offer Yabu and our 2018 1st for Tyreke Evans.
If Danny is saying Hayward is for sure not coming back, then the team THIS YEAR needs a temporary option for another scorer. Evans would be a much better 6th man, and can obviously spot start as well.
This team is too good right now to not try to make a couple smaller moves to compete for a title.
I don't view the outbound assets as viable rotation options for next season. Sucks offering up a 1st rounder and Yabu for Tyreke, but looking at it as:
Yabu, Nader, 2018 1st, and two 2nds
For
Evans and Noel
Looks pretty freaking sweet. The DPE is a gift. Let's maximize its potential!
New rotation:
Kyrie/Smart/Rozier/Larkin
Brown/Evans/Smart/Rozier
Tatum/Evans/Morris
Horford/Morris/Theis/Semi
Baynes/Noel/Theis
That is a dope rotation. Noel and Baynes can switch starting depending on the opponent, and Horford can play his natural 4 position virtually the entire game. We improve our bench scoring, defense and rebounding down low, and provide more versatility with lineup options, which have stagnated quite a bit.
