If we were to actually do this move there would have to be a counter move trading away either R Williams or Thompson.

Also I think it’s common practice to thrown in either Nesmith or Romeo or both in trade ideas.  I think both could be on the upswing after an offseason of training with no injuries.  They both bring energy, defense, emerging skills, and depth on the wing.  Me personally I’d like to hold onto them for now.

The default of this move would also make Smart the starting PG if people are fine with that.

Bledsoe would be mostly dead weight with his contract for a couple years.  At least Walker would have his all star play at times.

Could we get Ball and Adams for Walker and Timelord?  Would that be worth it?

Maybe there is an opportunity to also trade youth for a veteran if we trade Nesmith for Hart in the deal.

Would rather trade Smart to Pels for Lonzo and JHart.  We need a "big" PG who is pass first!  Then I'd trade Jaylen to GS for Draymond and a pick.  Don't like giving up JB, but gives you a dynamic passer and defender who definitely brings the attitude.  We're too soft right now, and I think DG would help change that. 
You then would have two dynamic passers to get our stagnant offense moving.

adding Romeo is an overpay.  hold on to him.  also not a fan of Bledsoe at all.  would rather keep Kemba.  Adams would add toughness but clogs the roster with him, TT and TL.  would move TT but due to TL's injury problems, we're back to being thin up front when he's out.

The Ball/Adams deal looks appealing.  Would want NO to kick in a first rounder though

Nesmith for Hart, not so much.
