Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

If we are going to do a 3 team swap that involves Charlotte and Ball, I’d rather it be with Detroit.  I’m intrigued by Ron Holland.  I might do something that had Ball and Holland to add to Flagg, Lively and Max as your young core.  That’s a ton of D to put around Ball or Kyrie.  Again, I don’t love Ball, but he would make the offense work better when healthy and he does have the size to play next to Kyrie on the rare occasions when both are available.

If we are going to trade with Detroit, why not just go straight up?  Somebody suggested AD + Klay for Ivey + Harris + Holland + Stewart.  Harris gets you the salary relief plus three young players with upside.  I would rather do something like that then go after picks.
