Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[DanSchwartzgan]

Playing it out with the suggested players selected at 9 & 12...

Kyrie | #9 Pick | Nembhard (Club Option 6/29)
Max | I. Joe | Klay
Naji | Wiggins | Martin
Flagg | #12 Pick | #30 Pick
Lively | Gafford

#48 Pick - TwoWay
Own UFA's: Middleton, Bagley, B-Will, Powell
Own RFA's: Cisse
Waive: AJJ
MLE
TPE
BAE

Flagg is a 3/4 so #12 can be a Wing like Carr/Lopez/Ament or a Big like M. Johnson/Steinbach.

In my perfect world I'd draft Brown Jr./Burries (9), MoJo/Ament (12), Zuby/Graves/Karaban (30), BPA (48)

That would be quite the jump start to rebuilding.  If 12 is Morez and he can get some time at C and at PF, then I'd probably keep Middleton for Vet leadership and TDL optionality.  I'd prefer to keep him and move Klay if we had I. Joe.  

I'd love to find a way to keep Cisse either as 15th man or as a two-way.  Having him and Morez makes Gafford expendible at the TDL if Lively proves to be healthy.
