I’d try and make a move at the deadline for Jerami Grant. People will laugh, but he’s on a 5 year deal for 160 that they only offered him to entice Dame to stay. He was also only sold for a 2025 Milwaukee first two year ago, so he can’t be that expensive. Giving them Harris/Killian and some seconds probably gets it done.
Trade away Bojan for 2nds or maybe package Bojan and some 2nds to the Knicks to get our heavily protected first back.
Assuming we make the move for Jerami at the deadline, we’ll probably have a top 5 pick and only 50 mill in cap space as opposed to 81.
I’d use that 50 to sign and trade Siakam and Gary Trent to the TWolves for KAT.
Use the pick to take BPA or trade it for another young veteran.
Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Grant/KAT
with top 5 pick/Duren/Stew/Sasser/Livers off the bench. To me, this is how you’d use our resources this off-season to acquire top talent (through trades, not FA signings) to a team like Detroit.
