As someone mentioned above, this creates a huge logjam at the four spot.

I wonder if we circle back to Myles Turner and try to flip P.J. Washington, Mason Plumlee (needed for cap reasons), and the first round pick from the Graham trade for him.

PG: LaMelo Ball

SG: Terry Rozier

SF: Gordon Hayward

PF: Lauri Markkanen

C: Myles Turner 

Ish Smith, James Bouknight, Jalen McDaniels, Miles Bridges, Kai Jones, JT Thor, Caleb Martin, Cody Martin, Vernon Carey, and Nick Richards making up the bench.

Arnoldas Kulboka, Scottie Lewis, and probably LiAngelo Ball in the G-League (or on the main roster, who knows).

If we can flip some assets to get Turner as well then I would be much more optimistic. My only worry was either PJ or LM would be playing at the 5 and would put us at a huge disadvantage defensively down low, but adding Turner would easily solve that problem and would make us a huge threat.

"Terms of the deal are not available yet. It's likely this will be a part of the sign-and-trades already happening with the Bulls and Pelicans. The Bulls will likely match-and-trade Markkanen, which will tie into the deals that have Devonte' Graham going to the Pelicans and Lonzo Ball going to the Bulls, among other pieces.

Markkanen can play both the 4 and the 5. He's a good rebounder and a good outside shooter, and last year he was greatly improved as a finisher inside the arc. He would add more depth, size, and shooting to the Hornets front court.

He's also 24 years old for those of you that care about timelines."

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
