I totally agree with your first scenario. Thats exactly what im hoping we do.
Second scenario, wouldnt cleveland be taking back waaay too much money? they are already in the luxury tax, so how and why trade jr for Gordon who is owed more money and still not enough to get a team that bad out of the cellar.
3rd scenario: i like the idea of the 3 team trade, but pheonix trading the 6 for Ball is possibly a stretch but even if they do id rather switch out Hart for Kuzma in that scenario and you draft one of colby or Garland and then I think you Sign Dedomon and Draft Bol Bol. Bc the Center would immediately become very weak for us in this scenario if left as Wood and OKafor. So sign the 3 and D Center Draft a Guy with the next best upside with your 3rd pick and at a position of need and that would be a good offseason

Rumors are that Cleveland is in love with Haywards potential, and would like to pair him with Love.

All they would have to do to make room for him besides sending us Smith is to move Brandon Knight or Thompson, which wouldnt be too hard for them to do, and they would be out of LT threshold.

In the 2nd scenario, Phoenix would absolutely send the #6 pick for Ball, they know they need to surround Booker with a couple vets otherwise he will ask out also.

I would rather Hart over Kuzma for 2 reasons, versatility and shooting.

In every scenario I'm looking at guys that can line up anywhere, and can shoot.

Kuzma is pretty much confined to the 4 spot, not enough mass to play the 5, and not enough athleticism for the 3 (MY opinion of course), and he is a terrible defender.

Hart can play the 1-3 spots, offers better spot up shooting, and wont be near as expensive to re-sign when his deal is up (someone will overpay Kuz).

So, in the last scenario if you look at it, you have Brogdon, Jrue, and Hart that can all play the 1-3, Ingram 2-3, Zion and Doumbouya can play the 3-5, and Qood can play the 4-5.

You could realistically trot out any lineup you wanted to counter any other teams, and they would have to keep up with your athleticism and shooting
