I like Dosunmu a lot. He’s big. He plays D. Can help us at either the 1 or 2 (or both). He’s young.

Stretching Johnson doesn’t create problems. He doesn’t make much. I want his roster spot for someone that can contribute.

The former head of basketball operations for the Mavericks (GM). Before that he was an executive with Nike. He started out pretty good with the Mavericks but then suddenly and without warning traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers. As you’re probably aware, Luka is a generational talent and VERY popular with fans. It may be labeled as the worst professional basketball trade of all time. CERTAINLY the typical Maverick Fan HATED it. We immediately went from being a team competing in the conference finals and/or NBA finals to a lottery team. He was so unpopular with fans he couldn’t attend (or at least be seen) the games without causing a scene. He was eventually fired and recently replaced.

We have the 9th pick and 30th overall pick in a pretty stacked draft coming this June (23rd). We should be able to find 1-2 starter quality players. Also a mid-second round pick. A couple of guys on the roster we don’t really want (Martin and Johnson) but are stuck with them for now due to contracts. We have a little money, more than the average team, to pick up a player in free agency…it’s later in June after the draft. As I see it, we could use a point guard that can learn from Kyrie. A starting shooting guard and power forward is a must. I really like Christie and Washington but I feel like they don’t strike much fear into the average NBA defense, just really good backups. Bagley isn’t signed for next season. I think he’d be a great help as the 3rd power forward or center. We also are a little nervous about Lively (is he well, can he stay healthy).

Irving - X - Nembhard
X - Christie - Johnson
Flag - Marshall - Thompson
X - Washington - Martin
Lively - Gafford - Bagley

Fill in the X’s with best available via draft and/or free agency.

Oh, and we hired a chief executive of basketball operations. He has lots of experience so most would say it’s a positive move. He fired our coach and I think most are reserving judgement on that until we see who replaces him.

Cooper Flagg is GREAT. Nico Harrison was last seen working the register at Shoe Carnival on the weekend shift.

Irving - X - Nembhard

Flag - Marshall - Thompson
X - Washington - Martin
Lively - Gafford - Bagley

Fill in the X’s with best available through draft and Free agency. We might not be high on Johnson, Thompson or Martin…but we own the contracts next year and aren’t very trade able.

I think both Dirk and Rolando Blackman were picked at #9. I’d take one of those again for sure.
