I didn't go too far into thinking whether or not the trading parties would say yes or no to it, just an imaginary scenario:
Trade #3, #58, Young and Hunter to the Timberwolves for #5 and Muhammad
Trade #23, #31, Smart, Jerebko to the Sixers for Noel, Stauskas, #24
Trade Olynyk and #51 for Pierce
Sign Horford
Sign Durant
Draft:
#5 Buddy Hield
#16 Domanatas Sabonis
#24 Dejounte Murray
#35 Thon Maker
Roster:
PG Thomas / Rozier / Murray
SG Bradley / Hield / Stauskas
SF Durant / Pierce (Crowder) / Muhammad
PF Horford / Crowder (Pierce) / Maker
C Noel / Mickey / Sabonis
Small ball or space:
Thomas
Bradley or Hield
Durant
Pierce or Crowder
Mickey or Horford or Crowder/Pierce (if you go really small)
All Defense:
Rozier
Bradley
Durant
Crowder
Mickey
Your second unit would be:
Rozier
Hield
Pierce or Crowder
Crowder or Maker
Mickey or Sabonis
and Pierce retires a Celtic.
pick at it, love it, hate it, say a team would hang up the phone, whatever, just wanted to see what you guys thought.. rather than the usual one off transactions, a full off season picture, and not so much the feasibility, but what if this was the final outcome.
fire away.
