Kira, Zeller, Liddell and 2024 (top 10) for Claxton.




So you want to send 3 players out and get back 1, and still be a tax team that has to sign 2-3 more guys to fill out the roster, likely putting us at about $5M over the tax.
And then who's minutes is Claxton taking? JV and Larry play 100% of the minutes at the 5. Which one of them are you taking minutes from?

For Claxton while giving up zero players of note and one 1st? Abso-fricking-lutely I want to.

That would be as much of a YES no brainer as the OP is a NO no brainer.

Healthy Larry can play the 4 just fine, plus you have the ability to give more/less minutes situationally.

Just a very quick mock up, not necessarily based on what I think but a combo of what I think plus what we're actually doing currently but if Claxton were added, with the only caveat being I'd move Naji out of the rotation entirely but I know Willie wouldn't lol.

CJ - 33
Bi - 33
Herb - 27
Zion - 30
Jval - 24
Trey - 26
Jose - 16
Claxton - 21
Nance - 18
Hawk - 12



And again, the Val/Claxton/Nance minutes are more situational based on night to night matchups and foul trouble.

By Feb if this team is looking good you convert Ryan to a standard contract and fill out the rest of the roster with vets.

Going into the tax for Kira no.
Going into the tax for Claxton, Ryan and other vets yes.

JV, Claxton and Nance will be situational for the remainder of the season.
Postseason too.

Nance can also guard the bigger PF's that this team hasn't got an answer for at the moment instead of him using all his energy guarding 5's.
