Isaac is not a player you trade for now that he´s rebuild some of his value just like Collins, Ayton. The time to get them was five months ago, when you could have gotten them for virtually nothing. It´s also not the time to trade (major) assets for Drummond or Bitadze, when you could have had them for NOTHING six months ago.
Now is the time to find the next distressed asset and pounce on them.
I´d keep an eye on PJ Washington. Trade eligible on Nov. 27th.
3 points game---> loss
3 points game --> loss
benched against Boston, horrible plus/minus --> win
DNP foot injury --> win
I still don´t think the Hornets have any plans for him. They just didn´t want to lose him for nothing. Problem with the trade right now is that moron Bridges having his pending court date at the end of February. Seems unlikely the Hornets will move on from Washington until they have some clarity there.
THJ for Washington works.
THJ + Holmes + Kleber + 2027 for Hayward + Washington works.
You should operate under the assumption/knowledge that you can re-sign Hayward for a reasonable deal next summer. Now you are basically looking for a Gafford type center, which are a lot easier to find than a Washington/Hayward on value contracts.
Doncic/Exum
Irving/Green
DJJ/Hayward
Williams/Washington
Lively/Powell
That´s a completely different bench, cause Hayward and Washington can put the ball on the floor and flat out score. Game becomes a lot easier for Exum, Green and Powell as the limited offensive roleplayers they are, when Hayward and Washington can put the pressure on the opposing defense.
Big Ball
Doncic
Irving
Hayward
Washington
Lively
or
Small Ball
Doncic
Irving
Hayward
Williams
Washington
Healthy those units don´t have to fear anybody.
