I want Walker Kessler and Jonathan Isaac now to complete this team.

We will have to give up BI or CJ to get a deal done but one was always going to have to go with Murray here now and Trey about to be paid. I would seriously try to sell CJ on a super 6th man role where he’s the primary scorer off the bench still playing 25 minutes a game but he will have fresh legs come the playoffs whereas he was gassed by the time the playoffs came this year. Don’t forget about CJ’s lung issue. He’s also on a descending contract. Kessler gives you the true center all teams need that is a crazy shot blocker and Jonathan Isaac is the perfect guy to replace Nance as the backup 5 that is a terror defensively who can switch 1-5 and is a great rim protector also as well as a solid 3 point shooter. I would also really try my best to get Naji backto replace the defense and length we lost with Dyson. Naji would actually become our backup 4 for Zion. Things just got very exciting very fast.

I don’t see cj moving till a month or two into the year. No matter who’s happy about the moves, I don’t see it. No ones giving bi more than 35 for 3 years. No one is giving cj 28 for 2.

Only thing I see is perhaps giving jv 2 years and paying luxury.

Cj for cash and drafts?

That would be an ideal duo but Kessler will cost a lost just based on his potential. Another possibility is Jarrett Allen + Kelly Olynyk. We'd have a rim-protecting center and a stretch big who'd pair well with Zion. The money works and could probably get them in a three-way trade for BI.

Kessler won’t cost as much as Jarret Allen would. Cleveland isn’t getting rid of Allen and upsetting Mitchell. Utah has let it slip they are shopping Kessler though and they haven’t valued or played him nearly what they should have. This is the good thing having BI and/or CJ still around to trade. BI will be able to bring back a starting center value-wise. Whether the right deal presents itself is another thing altogether.
