After that, its hard to imagine a whole lot of moves to make. Most guys are either negative assets that we can't afford to get off of, or more valuable to this team then they likely would be in a trade.
Sign Brunson and trade for center (Holmes) and wait to get past the 23 draft when we have access to all of our assets. I see that being the offseason where we make our "Jrue Holiday" move.
I wasn't trying to go for Green slander with my post. But rather that I don't think he fits in the other tiers as an asset. He's not overpaid. He's not untouchable. He doesn't have the same value as Maxi, Bullock, DFS, JB. So he's a relative afterthought as a trade asset.
He's basically a throw in. I don't want to trade Green because I think he can become a good rotation player with another summer of training. But we have to be realistic.
I agree that the next offseason will be the most likely one if we want to make our major move. Getting a center like Holmes would be a huge coup, especially if we keep the core of Luka/Brunson/Bullock/DFS/Maxi/SD/Powell. Maybe we can find a versatile 4 on the cheap like Thad Young this summer as well.
