re: I'm not sure how this team improves via trade

I wouldn't trade anyone on the team except the bench kids. No starter is available save Val.

Ingram is having a career year.
CJ is having a career year.
Zion is slowly, very slowly, getting better.

If this core is healthy in April we will be the team no one wants to play. We're deeper than a lot of teams.

If December 2022 Zion is playing in April we're making the WCF at minimum

That's how I'm feeling... All we need is a stout, defensive minded big that can switch but is primarily on the court to give resistance to Embiid, Jokic, Porzingas, etc... Who that is?? Idk. But I know it is NOT Jarrett Allen.
Keep JV bc he can at least match half of the scoring output of those bigs and at least 1-2 games in a series has the ability to supercede. Keep Larry if he holds up to the deadline like he is now.

Any trade worthwhile WILL include Dyson, so don't go getting overly excited about his future in N.O. He's the odd man out.
