2024 Offseason Thoughts and Examples

Here are my offseason player options.
- 2024-offseason-possible-player-options
If we don’t trade for Trae or Dejounte, I wonder if we can get in as a third team and route someone else’s current starting PG to us as they make room for Trae. In return we send Atlanta one of their firsts back.
- For example if Utah wants to make a run for Trae, we could take Sexton. If Lakers, we could take D’lo. Pelicans, CJ.
I really like the idea of CJ McCollum. He has a big two year contract that might be too much cost for NOLA compared to the benefit they get from him. I think the Spurs are in good place to overpay for veteran shooting. Basically upgrading the McDermott role.
I wonder if we can get Naz Reid. He is an expiring contract next season (he has a player option for the following year he will definitely decline) and Minnesota is definitely going to be over the second apron if they try to resign him, Nickeil, and/or Kyle Anderson. They also only have 7 draft picks total thru 2029 (3 firsts and 4 seconds). We might be able to get Nickeil in the trade too. Or would they be open to trade Jaden McDaniels?
I wonder if we can get Garland. They can’t keep both Mitchell and Garland and they have been way better when Garland is out than when Mitchell is. Keldon, 3 firsts, and salary filler?

Idea 1

Sign free agents Tyus Jone and Kyle Anderson
Relinquish Julian Champagnie, Sandro Mamukelashvili, Devonte Graham, maybe Bassey (ACL)
Draft 1 first round player
Assign all second rounders to G League
