Trading Rudy, but not blowing it up and trying to stay weakly competitive with a fringe playoff roster, is like the dumbest/lamest thing we could do. I’d be so pissed.
Predict the Rudy Gobert trade

The fact that we traded Royce and didn't re-sign House, and seemingly have no way to replace them in free agency does make me think a Gobert trade is coming that will add a couple of wings to the roster.

Yeah, either a trade is in the works, or we are ALL in on that TANK.

I’d rather get Precious from Toronto at $2M then Poeltl
We can get both. Poeltl is super underrated.

He’s solid for sure. Rudy for Precious/GTJ/OG then absorb Poeltl into a TPE. Trade Conley for more depth or use him in a bench role for playmaking.
Don- GTJ - OG - Bojan - Poeltl
Conley, Clarkson, Precious as the main 3 off the bench
We’d be replacing Conley and Royce in the starting lineup with OG and Trent Jr which is a HUGE upgrade but we obviously downgrade a lot at Center.

Do TPE count toward the luxury tax?
Of course but we’re under the luxury tax by about 11.2M right now.

I just read that TPE's count against the salary cap but not against the luxury tax? If we got OG, Precious, GTJ, and Poeltl we'd be right under the tax line with 13 players

Yes, something like that deal and we end up under the tax by 2.3M with 13 players.

I think a dark horse for Rudy could be Charlotte. They are in a bind right now with the Bridges assault situation. That's a really big blow to that franchise but I think they could save face with a deal for Rudy.
They don't have the best player assets, but they do have most of their draft picks going forward, tons of cap space and a few decent pieces (Rozier, PJ Washington, young players like Bouknight, JT Thor, Mark Williams, etc.).
It's not terribly exciting, but we could get a draft pick haul from them. Maybe turn minor picks and Bojan into John Collins and minor picks and Conley into something helpful while still keeping valuable 1sts for the long term.

We upgrade offensively at center
