re: Shamit Dua thinks we need to get Towns or Kristaps even if it means trading Ingram or CJ.

However trying to figure how we add shooters to this roster that Willie would actually play is pretty hard
Pels aren't in bad shape, I believe they really need only quality backups for Zion, BI, and CJ to better replace any of the 70 pts. collectively they give you and a defensive oriented center who can protect the rim and space the floor. Good news is that might already be on the roster.
Team needs to really get into TM3 and Hayes heads that they have to get physically stronger this off-season. TM3 and Hayes 10-15lbs of good weight would do so much for this team. Both have shown they function well as spacers (TM3 horizontally and Hayes vertically). I love both Jose and Kira, but with Dyson's development one may need to be moved. At that point, only a movement shooter (similar to CJ) needs to be acquired.
Despite the disappointment so far this year, folks need to keep in mind that we have a very young team (who are going to get better) sans Val,CJ, and Nance who are arguably in their prime. I would hate to see them sacrifice developing players that you can grow with for expediency. Something like
CJ/Dyson/(Jose or Kira)
BI/Acquired movement shooter
Herb/Naji
Zion @265/TM3 @225/Liddell
Hayes @ 230/Nance/Val

hayes was not extended.
he will not be a pel next season.
even if he suddenly rebounds and defends like rodman the rest of season and helps upset denver in round one he will not be a pelican.
someone will offer starting job and money to Rodman-hayes.

I would love it if this would work, but I think it’s wishful thinking. Trey has never been a very good rebounder for his size even in college. He probably plays more powerfully now than ever.
Still, that backup 4 is a key hole, so the Pels need a strategy to fill it, and preferably with someone that can space the floor.
I have more confidence in Jax continuing to develop like you are hoping (bigs often develop slowly and Jax is still young), but his demonstrated lack of maturity is scary.
I don’t think we can keep Jax and make 2 moves while staying under the cap, so if we keep him, then JV’s is the next movable contract and only gives us about $15mm.

I think they have 3 long term starters on the roster in Trey, Dyson and Zion. I'm not saying BI isn't a long term starter, but we probably won't know the answer to that question until they play at least 20 straight games together, preferably in a Zion centric system. The good news is if BI isn't the right fit, he should have enough value to get you a piece that fits better. Then you just have to figure out that 5th starter/finisher.
