I do wonder if Chi would look to squeeze another pick or 2 in, which NYK would tap out of as they would be giving up quite a bit. That’s where I also feel the Sims deal makes it much more stomachable seeing the run Hartenstein just had for them. Of course I prefer Hartenstein also with the added benefit of getting off McGee’s contract.
Can you double S&T Wood for Vuc? Wood joins Ayton and Williams in their big rotation. Vuc isn't the ideal defensive center by any stretch of the imagination, but we're not exactly flush with options. Maybe McGee is outgoing in that deal with Wood to make the salaries work. BTW, it wouldn't shock me if they targeted Vuc even without the hypothetical we are discussing.
Vuc and Toppin weren't designed to be your big moves, but they slot in as starters moving Powell/Sims and Maxi/Morris to the backups at the 4 and 5. I think you are also set with scoring guards with Luka, Kyrie and Hardy. Your big move is on the wing. Green is the only sure thing and you'd presumably keep one of THJ or Bullock with the other one and your two future picks going out for the wing stud you are targeting.
