Powell vs Grant

BCD5E8C8-18C0-487A-9D96-2B1909EFEB2E.jpeg

RAPTOR grades out Powell as the better player. I guess my point is it’s pretty close to equal value, at least on paper.
 
I'll take it!!

TBH, I really like the thought of rolling next year with a lineup of Dame/Nas/Grant/Collins/Nurk with Ant/Hart/FRP/MLE/Watford backing them up. Sounds like a balanced, talented, versatile roster to me.

Course, that FRP wouldn't be guaranteed, since a Simons/Hart/Grant/Collins/Nurk lineup isn't really all that built to tank. Maybe the lack of chemistry would make them really clunky?
I think for sure they would make it into the 7-8 play in game and I also think if they have put themselves in that kind of position that Dame will be back a couple weeks before the season ends to start getting some playing time with his new teammates. So I think they'd win that first play in game pretty easily and I think the Suns or Warriors would not be happy that they have to play that starting lineup with Dame in Ant's place and Ant coming off the bench along with some pretty tenacious guys in Elleby and Watford plus a shooter like McLemore. If we could make that trade and got through our first round match up, we could make a real run. Regardless it would set us up great for next year. Ant, Hart, MLE and Watford off the bench with that starting lineup would be definite contenders.
 
Instead of focussing on who we're getting, here's who I'd trade... now or in offseason:

Must Trade: CJ, Salary to get under the Lux Tax
Should Trade: RoCo, Powell
Shouldn't Trade: Ant, Nas, Nurk

Next Year's Lineup:
Dame, Ant, Nas, Larry, Nurk

Bench:
Watford, McLemore

Ideally, one of the players we trade for takes Larry's spot in the starting lineup, and another is a rotation player

Starters: Dame, Ant, Nas, Badass, Nurk
Bench: Watford, McLemore, Traded Dude, Larry

Ideally, the Badass is Ben Simmons, but that is unlikely.
 
How upset would people be if we started next season with a lineup featuring:

Dame-CJ-Nas-Grant-Nurk

with Ant coming off the bench?

That is a ridiculously expensive lineup if we retain our FAs... and you're not maximizing Ant, but it's talent retention at least. Can also explore moving CJ next yr.
 
as far as im concerned:

dame lillard-simons-little-collins-nurk

get it done!
 
Dame - 42 mil
CJ - 33 mil
Grant - 21 mil, and seeking 4 yr, 112 mil extension
Nurk - ~18 mil
Ant - ~ 18 mil

132 mil for 5 players, and minimums to fill the bench.

Unless you know for sure that's a championship contender, there is no way Jody would be OK with that kinda spending.
 
Btw doing a Grant Powell trade might not get us under the tax, but it would free up using Roco to dip it.
It makes finding the right roco deal a little more difficult, though, with the extra $$. Grant is about 4.5 million more than Powell. If we're already ~3ish over, we're basically looking at a roco into a tpe to get under.

Maybe this? So, with a Norm for Grant swap, we'd be around 7.5 mil over.

RoCo + Snell for Kyle Anderson gets us about 5.4 mil.

Then dump Ben Mac to the first team offering a second that has a TPE (like NO for example).

Since Ben is on a minimum deal, any team can trade for him, doesn't need a tpe. So should make it even easier to deal him.

which is one of the reasons why CJ must go.

One of the reasons I feel like we need to move cj now, and not wanting for the offseason. Now, people have expiring that could help shed salary. In the offseason, there's not going to be that option, we'd end up having to pay someone like okc to use their space for contract fillers.
 
what would need to happen for us to re-sign nurk & ant on lets say at least 18 per
 
If we could get Grant for Norm and Simmons for CJ/RoCo, I think that team could actually make some noise.

Dame
Simons
Simmons
Grant
Nurk

With Nas, Nance, and maybe a lottery pick coming off the bench?

Sure wish that would happen. Since it won't, I won't allow myself to dream of it.
 
also. putting my tinfoil hat on.

i don't think it's a coincidence that larry nance has been upgraded to "questionable" for the game tmrw instead of being "out."
