With the rumor that Phoenix is interested in trading for CP3's successor and seeing names like Quickley and FVV. I would think a guy they would like next to Brooks for the foreseeable future would be Ant. When you couple that with the fact that they weren't seemingly excited about giving a true C the max and that if they got Ant, Cam Payne would be pushed out of the rotation... I think a trade of Ant and Nurk for Ayton and Cam Payne would make sense. I think they might want some draft capitol so I'd be willing to give them up to our 2029 FRP lotto protected but would rather give them a few seconds.
If we did that trade we could then look to trade Josh for a backup big... I know Miami is the team rumored to be most interested in Josh so they would have to send enough to a team like Orlando for a guy like Bamba, for us to give them Josh because they really don't have anything we would want for Josh.
I think since we're trying to go all in right now but also have a pretty young team around Dame and Jerami, it might make sense to take a big swing at a guy on a rookie contract. I think Houston has a bit of a minutes crunch at forward right now so they might be willing to give up Eason for two future firsts and Justise. The two firsts would be 2025 without protection and 2027 top 10 protected and if it fell in the top ten then the Rockets would get our 2027 second and the Pelicans'.
Overhauled new rotation Dame, Shae, Eason, Jerami, Ayton, GP2, Payne, Bamba, Nas and Drew. We'd be really deep with end of bench developing young guys like Jabari, Keon, Trendon and even GB3.
