These Good, Realistic Moves For Next Season?

[Lucky17]

I'm really not interested in Whiteside.  Sign a stop gap, give the minutes to a young guy, but don't give a huge long term contract to Whiteside.

I wouldn't mind giving Joakim Noah an Amir Johnson-like deal.

I have a feeling there is a strong possibility of this happening.

Ryan Anderson and Joakim Noah on two year deals. Fireworks!

That honestly wouldn't be too bad of a deal for us. Anderson has always impressed me with how much of a mismatch he is offensively, and Noah would certainly help our interior defense and rebounding. However, we'd probably have to lose Amir if that happened, which would suck.

I can see Noah signing a two-year deal under the right circumstances.

Ryno will not settle for a two-year deal. He's getting a big four-year contract somewhere.

Yeah Anderson is likely to get a 4 year deal.

I could see teams giving Noah a 3 year deal likely with an option the final year.

Noah will go play for Tibs which means that Dieng may be available... hmmm

As much as I want Dieng, he will be really expensive. Might need to include #3 OR Smart + role player and another late first rounder probably.

They may not want Dieng and want to draft a PF to play with Towns with their 5th pick.

I'd be happy to help them out. #3,23,AB for Lavine and Dieng. They get a vet guy in AB who Tibs will love with his D, and a chance for a couple young players with picks 3 and 5 now. And they wont have to worry about paying Dieng who will get max, or close to it.

Realistic? No. But I'd be pretty happy watching Lavine fly up and down the court, and Maybe Stevens can get that kid to play some solid D. He has the tools for it.

Dieng is a RFA next year and there is no way he gets the max. I would rather just wait until next summer than trade *gasp* the #3 pick or Bradley for him. I don't know that I would trade the #16 for him. I know he is good and he knows his role, but his impending FA turns me off and there is no future upside with him.

How about something like:

Amir Johnson, #16, #23, #31 for Greg Monroe

This is of course assuming that the Bucks want to switch things up after a disappointing season and want to cut ties with their big man.

Avery Bradley, #35, #45 for Serge Ibaka

Perfect compliment to Greg Monroe and clears up some minutes in the backcourt.

That leaves us with a couple of second round picks that we can use to fill out our 10-15 guys.. And more importantly the #3 pick.. I like Bender if we keep the pick but I wouldn't mind anyone in the 3-8 range (Bender, Dunn, Murray, Brown, Hield).  Let's just say we take Murray..

So far, our roster would look like this(hopefully we don't resign Sully):

Isaiah Thomas/ Evan Turner/ Terry Rozier
Jamal Murray/ Marcus Smart/ RJ Hunter
Jae Crowder/ James Young
Serge Ibaka/ Jordan Mickey/ Jonas Jerebko
Greg Monroe/ Kelly Olynyk

That leaves 2 roster spots open for a couple of the following players:
Ryan Anderson
Mirza Teletovic
Jordan Hill
Brandon Jennings
Eric Gordon
Mo Speights
Kevin Martin

We could use some depth at small forward although their aren't any good unrestricted free agent options.  Any ideas on how we may be able to require a good back-up small forward ?

This plan makes us significantly better without damaging our depth or compromising our future.  It also kills a couple birds with one stone by using our abundance of picks to land good IT like players who can have career years in other situations.  Monroe and Ibaka don't have long contracts so that also gives us flexibility.  Only real loss is AB who I like but his departure wouldn't hurt us to badly.

maybe we should just sign Noah and Horford to max deals and see if they can develop some College magic together.
