We could also expand that trade and give them the 25 and 27 for a few other players (Toppin and someone else maybe?).
If we can get the 25 available, I still would like to see if MJ would deal PJ as I think he might be the right type of PF to put next to Wood (Wood/PJ/Maxi makes a stellar big rotation).
Rozier/PJ/McDaniels for THJ/McGee/Hardy
Team ends up:
Kyrie/Luka/Green/PJ/Wood
Rozier/McDaniels/Reddish/Maxi/Powell
That team looks like a good backup 2/3 away from being strong contenders.
25 is still tied up in the 23 pick protections.
Someone on discord mentioned that there might be some under the table negotiations with the Nets. Tip them something this offseason once the Knick pick has conveyed like our '25 SRP and they push back the '29 pick into '30. That frees up our ability to trade '24, '26, and '28. All in.
