What upgrades are needed to make us a contender?

This team is well balanced, but it can absolutely use upgrades at the 1, 2, and 3.

If you can get an above average starter or star that will pass the ball at any of those positions, you do it.

The spurs are winning games but if they decide to go in on the tank Keldon Johnson is a young developing into all star talent you would target.

I'd love to have Keldon or Haliburton but there's no way the Spurs/Pacers are going to trade 23 year old kids that should be the future of their team for the next decade. They are not stupid like the Kings.

Already mentioned him but OG Anunoby should be a target. He's the same age as Lauri and another player who can potentially break out in a big way but the Raptors just have too many other guys his size including Scottie Barnes who also need a ton of minutes. OG is 6'-7" who is an underrated passer, shooter, plays incredible defense, gets steals and rebounds. Siakam was supposedly on the trade block last season but he's playing way too well for them now.

I'm probably the only one who would be fine if they eventually went after Simmons in the offseason if he's amenable to playing in Utah. He needs a fresh start not under the microscope like in Brooklyn/Philly. He's probably a 1-2 year project considering his injury/confidence issues but I'd let him simmer in the stew with Kessler, Sexton, Agbaji and see if he develops into a long term piece. No big loss if he busts as long as they don't give up any valuable assets for him and are able to maybe dump a few contracts like Gay/THT. At worst he could be a huge expiring in '24-'25 season.
 
I saw a Suns fan looking for a 3rd team in a potential KD deal and I kinda liked jumping in there.

Basics:

PHX In: KD
PHX Out: Bridges/Crowder/filler/bunch of picks

BRK In: Beasley/Crowder/filler/ton of picks
BRK Out: KD

Utah In: Bridges
Utah Out: Beasley/filler/a couple of picks

Could we get Haliburton? We need a big PG going forward. I think Sexton is a solid scorer and seems great at a 6th man. But he isn't going to be the passer we need. Haliburton could play next to him. Not sure they are willing to trade him but they arent winning any time soon and maybe picks could change their mind. They really stole him away though.

Thats the type of player I would be cool with aquiring. No PG13, no KD, no guys like that please.

People will hate this, but Gordon Hayward would be a great fit

franz wagner.

basically a 10 yr younger version of haywood with legit durability.

he's regressed from last season because he's struggling to play with banchero and being asked to do too much cuz magic has no competent backcourt. we let magic choose one or even two of sexton/beasley/conley/NAW to help solve their backcourt woes+ one of the picks to see if we can buy low. unlike to happen but magic is a clown organization and has done dumber things in the past

Franz is untouchable.

Hayward is very gettable.

when you are a tanking team on a 2-7 record, there's hardly any player who's "untouchable".

this is especially true when you are the magic, who's retired zero number in their 30+ years of existence.

hand them a couple of picks and watch them changing their tone
