I think we should be targeting Mirotic AND Kemba. I mean, why not?
We orchestrate a 3 team deal to get Mirotic:
Favors to Cleveland
Mirotic to Utah
Expirings and the Cleveland 2018 1st to Chicago
Bulls get their 1st, Cleveland gets a big who helps them (more than Frye, Calderon, etc.) and we get Mirotic
Then we trade with Charlotte
Charlotte gets Rubio, Hood, Joe Johnson, our 2018 2nd and a future 2nd
Utah gets Kemba and one of their bad contracts (Kidd-Gilchrist OR Marvin Williams)
Hornets get a good player in Hood and out of one of their bad contracts. We get Kemba but have to take a bad contract.
2018-19
PG Kemba
SG Mitchell
SF Ingles
PF Mirotic
C Gobert
Bench: Exum, Jerekbo, Thabo, Neto, Bradley, Udoh, MKG, O'Neal, Burks, 2018 1st rounder.
2019-20
Jerekbo, Thabo, Udoh and Burks come off the books and we have to re-sign Mirotic, Walker and Neto.
2020-21
MKG comes off the books and we have to re-sign O'Neal.
We only are really concerned about the luxury in 2019 and possibly 2021 or 2022.
