    I think they could substitute Robinson for Stewart in the original suggestion and make it work. I think we should be able to do better than that. I would love to dump Kd on Charlotte for a frp and their huge trade exception. That would give the Rockets immense flexibility over the next year or two. Unfortunately I haven’t seen Charlotte as a team interested in KD. They do have an extremely stupid front office though.

    they do have other players that fit that last 20% rather than my wish list: Robinson and LaVert come to mind.

    When you know the chemistry is bad, you have to make a change. Just ask Boston. They were willing to take less to avoid a soap opera and seeing things fall apart.

    We've already seen this group not be able to gel. It's in those moments that a GM can make a change and avoid headaches for everyone.

    It would take every non-minimum besides Cade and Ausar to match Durant without using a S&T.

    I do think highly enough of the twins, and both of their long-term potential to where I would entertain bringing in Ausar even with the immediate issues it would present in regards of fit. Maybe they would be interested in Sengun? They don’t seem eager to max out Duren. Maybe they want to lock in a cost controlled front court player. And try to sign in trade Duren for somebody that can help Cunningham with the scoring.

    To Houston
    Ausar
    Myles Turner
    Tyler Herro(Signs extension, 4 years 150 Million)
    AJ Green gets dealt to Houston into to the TPE

    To Milwaukee
    Robinson
    Capela
    Thornton
    FVV
    Houston 2027 FRP, the worst of the two.

    To Detroit
    Sengun
    Trent jr
    2031 Houston 1st

    ***Yes I do put that value on Ausar. I also think there will be an interesting element if the twins were able to play on the same team in regards to just the chemistry aspect and understanding each other. Many twins are essentially telepathic and I imagine that that would be helpful. Obviously, you have to surround Them with shooting to even give it a chance. Adams would now occupy a roster spot, but play pretty minimally. Smart and the twins, the only three players in the regular rotation that can’t shoot.

    Turner/Jabari/Adams
    Jabari/Eason
    Ausar/AJ Green
    Durant/Reed/Bogdan
    Amen/Smart

    Would you attach picks to dump sengun? Turner is worth probably -1 firsts and herro on that deal probably would take 2 firsts to dump.

    Charlotte's front office looks excellent right now.
