In no particular order the pieces that could be moved include: Billy, Naji, Kira, Graham, Temple, and Hayes.

The obvious move would be Temple + 1-2 2nds for cap space. We would have 2 draft picks and a 15 man roster.

The next most obvious move would be Temple+ Graham.

It looks like our draft pick should be 1 of Ivey, Mathurin, Davis, or Daniels. We need Hayes right now unless a trade opportunity presents itself. Temple and maybe 1 of Graham/ Kira in the hot seat?

We definitely aren’t done yet.

1,000,000% chance that at least 1 of those 2nd round picks is sold for cash, maybe both.

they’ll draft and sign a player at 8
both 2nds will be disposed of either for future picks or cash

moves at the deadline if they present themselves

You’re not getting Ivey - not a chance unless we trade up & I don’t see that happening.

You’re choosing from Griffin, Mathurin, Davis, & possibly a player who falls to you, but it won’t be Ivey.

Not to hijack the thread an all, but what’s wrong with Mark Williams, C from Duke?

He’s a 7-footer, has quick feet like a guard, and is a nasty rim protector & will funk on you if you’re not careful. His game reminds me of a Clint Capela but with more shiftiness.

I know we have Jonas but the center position and a true point guard are our needs. I know everyone says we take the best shooter, but we already have CJ, Ingram, and now Trey Murphy who I think could’ve won us an extra game in the playoffs had he played down the stretch.

Then you’ll bring back Zion, and if your first round pick in Kira Lewis works out, we could be absolutely SET.

Just sayin..

I could also see us trading back a ways..say to 13 where you can still grab your center in either Duren or Williams and add some draft capital as well.

Or you could just play it safe and draft Mathurin or Griffin and call it a day.

I cannot wait to see what this front office does with this pick.

Trade Graham + Hayes to the Clippers for Luke Kennard.

We get a legit 2 who can score with the second unit. The Clips probably won't do that but they need a real PG and could use an athletic bigman.

FYI, I believe Gary Clark cannot be signed as a 2 way player in 2022-2023 because it will be his 5th year in the league, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we keep a 2nd round pick and give them a 2 way contract.

We already know what's happening with the second rounders

I would imagine that ticket sales will be robust next season. And the team made money off the home postseason games.

I will be very surprised if we sell picks this year.

The options are:

- Package the two 2nds into one late 1st.

- Draft and stash

- Two-way contract

- A two-for-one trade that opens up a spot.

On that last note, you can take Billy and Naji out of the list. Billy is too valuable in the locker room -- Griff already said that he's untouchable. And Naji is a very good player for someone on a minimum contract, so there's zero reason to move him.

The trade would involve two of Graham, Temple, Kira, and Jaxson.

Dont over think this. Those two second-rounders are cash considerations.

Any chance we trade Hayes and the 8th to move up? If that’s even doable

I wish we'd use one of the seconds for a draft-and-stash guy...Euro guy that can stay overseas a couple of seasons before he comes over. Future pipeline just disposing of draft picks.
