On February 3, assuming KAT is about to pull a Harden because of the Twolves’ endless struggles and a desire for a fresh start in the east:
To BOS: KAT, Oladipo, Tucker
To HOU: Walker
To MIN:
R. Williams
Langford
Nesmith
G. Williams
Edwards
2021 BOS 1st
2022 BOS 1st swap
2023 BOS 1st
2024 BOS 1st swap
2025 BOS 1st
2026 BOS 1st swap
Has to be on February 3 at the earliest due to Oladipo recently being traded (assume we drop J. Green before then)
https://tradenba.com/trades/0j_4sN0zmImmediately extend Oladipo to a 4-year, $25-30 million/year deal. Extend Smart for four years, too, at $15-20 million/year, while keeping an eye on the tax being manageable the next four years if we win titles/raise revenue to 2008-2010 levels. See if we can bring back Theis at $5-7 million/year and Ojeyele at $2-3 million/year.
Nine-Deep LineupOladipo/PP
Brown/Smart
Tatum/Ojeyele
KAT/Theis
TT/Theis
After 2022:
PP/Smart
Oladipo/Smart
Brown/Ojeyele
Tatum/Theis
KAT/Theis/Hopefully 2022 1st round pick
2021: Teague ahead of PP and Tucker behind TT. Hopefully one or both re-sign near the minimum, but we won’t have an issue bringing in ring-chasing vets at the minimum. We do not need our next few years of draft picks due to the age and contracts of our youthful core. No-brainer for us. Possible KAT can get a better deal. HOU does it so that they flip expiring assets for a better dealing of Walker (or Wall or both) during the off-season.
