The CSL

No
Laurynas Birutis - Aleks Maric 2.0 is a Blazer for life
Jaylen Hoard - Guys who can shoot from all 3 levels and defend don't go anywhere
Tyrese Haliburton - See Hoard. He can also pass and handle.
Franz Wagner - Efficient stretch 4s who can actually play some defense are unicorns
Hamidou Diallo - We built the offensive scheme around him and he's my favorite successful project ever in DDS
1st round picks

Trade Restricted - Day 30
Milos Teodosic - Can still provide offense and passing even at 34. De facto two-year contract (Third year TO)
Goodluck Okonoboh - Two-year cap room deal ($2.8 million/year) for defense and good enough rebounding. Also won't eat shots from your scorers
Keita Bates-Diop - Decent 3&D bench option on two-year minimum salary deal and has pretty good shooting numbers at the CSL level when he's gotten minutes.

Available
Jordan Mickey - I'll listen, but I really see him slotting into a 6th man backup big role, considering how much he outplayed his contract this year and we've got him locked up long-term.
Finn Delany - Has good potential to be an all-around player and possible fifth starter. Has made big gains in both TCs
Jack Salt - A meme
Cameron Oliver - Multi-position player with elite DI/IQ and excellent pass/handle at most spots. Long-term team-friendly contract. Will score more aggressively due to high Pass. Might be better in new engine.
Adam Woodbury - Great rebounder. Got a boost in potential
.
Looking For
Bench guys that fit our team and window
Picks are always welcome

So basically, we're looking at smaller deals involving bench players. No starters will be dealt.

I have an offer for Ingles I'm considering and am starting the process of reviewing packages for Smart.

A reminder that Tavares and Mirotic continue to be time-sensitive offers.

WARNING: Last call on Ingles offers or I'll take the one I have. I'll decide in a day or two.

Ingles has officially been verbaled. Discussions on Smart are heating up, so get your interest in.

Update on Positional Needs as Relates to Possible Smart Deals
PG - Won't happen. It'd need to be a young stud and no one is going to pay that for Smart. *I* wouldn't, so I don't expect y'all to.
SG - A clear-cut good young starter is of interest, but not a pressing need.
SF - Obviously a hole. Young starter also more obvious.
PF - Whether I retain Mirotic depends on a few other balls in the air. A young starter or heir is definitely a need, though.
CE - My biggest hole. The current leading discussion on Smart involves a high-quality young big man who would step in and start immediately.

First round picks are always good bait, though their value will obviously depend on projected landing spant.

Okay, so after a wild night of swings and craziness, we've pretty much settled into our next year gameplan. Original post has been updated with available pieces and items sought after a whole lot of movement that will indeed transform this franchise into a rebuild.

We're talking with something like 4-5 teams about Smart now, so he will end up getting moved. It's just a question of for which package.

Smart is on the cusp of a verbal (a complicated blockbusting deal that will change a lot of players' fortunes if gone through)

Williams has had some conversations

So we're pretty much looking like the wholesale makeover will be imminent soon, with a possibility of Brunson/Mirotic/Clarkson/Bairstow as the only holdovers from this season, and even Bairstow is not a guarantee.

Deal didn’t happen so back to reviewing offers for Smart. Grant Williams also has two interested teams.

Updated

Numerous Smart offers I'll be in the process of reviewing over the weekend and making a decision on.

Updated after the first two small moves

Updated after today's flurry of moves.

Crabbe didn't want to go NYK, so Ingles is back on the block. Also willing to listen in on offers for Mirotic, too, and downshift to complete rebuild.

And we're done trading for the offseason.
