Kings OUT: Harrison Barnes
Kings IN: Tristan thompson, grant williams, Romeo Langford, WAS 2nd roundpick from CLE
WHY: Barnes doesnt fit? gets young players plus basically a late first/early 2nd

CLE OUT: Drummond, WAS 2nd rnd pick
CLE IN: Trevor Ariza, Jeff Teague
WHY: might buy out Drummond anyways, this cuts drummonds salary in half and both are expir.

OKC OUT: Ariza, George Hill
OKC IN: Kemba Walker and BOS 1st
WHY: See if Kemba comes back to form and can use as trade or keep. They have 2 large TPEs and a TON of picks to go after whomever in offseason

BOS OUT: Kemba, Tristan, Grant, Langford, Teague, 2021 1st
BOS IN: Drummond, Barnes, Hill
WHY: Drummond gives us a Big for this year and is huge expiring, Barnes fills in the 4 postion rather nicely, hill is a stopgap PG while pritchard still learns NBA

BOS Roster:
PG- Hill, Pritchard, Waters,edwards
SG- Brown,Smart, Green
SF-Tatum,Nesmith
PF- Barnes, Semi
C- Drummond, Theis, Williams

Feels like a nice balance and very big lineup: hill is 6'4, brown 6'6, Tatum 6'8, Barne 6'8, Drummond 6'10

Next year: Pritchard,Brown, Tatum, Barnes, Williams

* I think it will work tax wise too, but Idk much bout that

Always love to read trade proposals, but I generally stop reading when I see Kemba's name. I just don't think that it's going to happen. I can't come up with a reason that a rebuilding team like OKC would want 2 1/2 years of Kemba's expensive contract for an injured and older player.

OKC’s got precedent in doing that recently
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)

PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

That's what made me think of them bc them getting Al Horford. Kemba hasn't been as bad as I think he is made out and seems to be trending in right direction. It takes time to get back on track and even longer if your changing your game to go from number 1 to 3rd option. He would be more free in OKC and could potentially get back to his old self. Him and Al would be great mentors to all the young players that okc could draft as well at the very least. Okc is not going to attract any free agents imo so this could be a path for them and they get another pick to add to there truckload they have already.

Since Al has become one of those "no back to back guys", I just don't think that they are likely to acquire a second "no back to back guy". Especially since that would give them potentially, not counting this year, $126+million over the next two seasons invested in "no back to back guys". I can't see it happening as much as I would like to see it happen.

If we attached some more draft capital to it they would do it.  Presti is holding on to picks like Frodo holding on to that ring.  And honestly - we should TOTALLY give up some picks to unload Kemba's contract.  That thing is crippling us.
