Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

That feels like a realistic return.  Stewart is 25 and that contract is pretty favorable.  LaVert is filler.  The trade checker says you can put Martin in as part of the outgoing and it is still legal, so that would be a must for me.

You can probably get an interesting young bench guy at #21, but the real prize is Holland.  I could see him slotting in very nicely at the forward slot next to Flagg.  You are making a bet on his 3 point shot coming around.  If it does, you've got Jaylen Brown.  If he doesn't, you still have something valuable...especially defensively, but only fully useful if Flagg becomes a plus shooter from outside.  I actually think his skillset makes Christie more valuable, not less.

Man, you are crazy high on holland.  I have some interest, but I don't see him ever becoming Jalen Brown.
