    Don't watch Toronto much, but memory is that he was a part of the bench brigade winning them games with the cougar.

    Bucks Center Myles Turner should be a target.

    Alperen Sengun should move to PF role, he looks more comfortable at that position. He can be in the paint and Myles Turner can shoot threes to stretch the floor and be a shot blocker and a better defensive presence. Players are afraid of Myles Turner shot blocking and Post Up defense.

    That would be good, but Jabari will be relegated to the bench. I think the Rockets are looking to trade Sengun and retain KD.

    Fred VanVleet - expiring deal
    Tari Eason sign and trade
    DFS - expiring deal
    Clint Capela
    Steven Adams

    They all need to be traded. Myles Turner should be the number 1 target.

    Fred VanVleet goes to another team a 3 way, Jabari Smith, Tari Eason and picks to Bucks for Myles Turner.

    Bucks are in rebuild mode.

    Myles is a good player, but that’s too much for him. Which team would you send FVV too?
    A lot of picks would be needed to be attached to him.

    No way. Bari alone is worth way more than Turner.

    Jabari alone is more valuable than Turner. Everyone calls FVV and Adams washed they are only 2 yrs older than Turner.

    Need to get a younger center that can grow with the team. Someone whose athletic and can play above the rim unlike our 3 centers, like trading for Jericho Sims or picking up Jonathan Isaac who’s a free agent. Both good defenders and rebounders, play above the rim and Isaac can shoot the 3.

    I have gone through a lot of scenarios with Milwaukee in my head. The problem is Sengun has a lot more value than their player pieces and you just don’t know how much they would want to give up. It depends how much they like him. I do think he is the perfect player to put with Ware.

    Herro is from Wisconsin, but does he want to stay there? Would he extend with us for a reasonable number. I’m not paying the max but consider considering what he already makes. I’m thinking somewhere at about 38 million seems fair. he is a shot maker. Obviously he has other limitations

    Turner is generally seen as a negative contract, but I don’t know if I buy that. I would imagine around the MBA. It’s somewhat neutral.

    Rollins, seems to have a ton of potential. Do they see him as the point guard at the future? Kasparas is probably compatible with him, but they would both want the ball. I know they got a bunch of draft picks, but I’m not exactly sure what the haul was.

    Jaquez is fine and he would serve a purpose on our team, but I imagine he will be doing a pretty good contract soon.

    Herro (Signs 4 year 156 million extension with a team option after the second year and a player option after the third)
    Turner
    This is where the value debate for Rollins comes in. I would prefer him over Kasparus. But, who knows.

    Herro/Turner/Kasparus is not enough for me trade value for Sengun. they would need to add a draft pick or two. Probably one pick and one swap

    What sort of contract is Duncan Robinson going to get? We need shooters, could be a value option?

    Sims would be a nice backup. Issac’s injury history is quite extensive. Pass up on him.

    I’m not saying it’s going to happening or do I want it to ….i’m willing to bet it has crossed LeBron’s mind before playing alongside Kevin Durant .

    Can't wait for Miles Turner to be our new PG.

    If they land Duncan that means the Heat have already added two floor spacers in Haraway and Robinson to the GA and Bam combo. Could get interesting

    Meanwhile the Rockets need shooting and decide to “clap, clap, play harder.”
