You have 2024’s basketball knowledge about players. For this exercise say it’s at the beginning of the 2019 NBA draft. You have the sole decision making power on the team.
How confident are you to make the Pistons the 2024 NBA Champion? How would you do it?
Trade for all of the lower value guys. They might take a lot, but with the number one overall pick you have plenty of amo.
Gets sga, dort, Lauri, Chris Paul, hart, Caruso, the Wagner bros, Jalen Williams, Harenstein, bruson if you want, maybe trade and flip to try and get one of the high draft picks, sengun, Naz Reid.
You could probably flip some players like Westbrook for the Lakers Westbrook trade. Or Kelly olynic in free agency could probably get a first rounder somewhere.
In 2019 at the beginning of the season could you trade a bunch of picks and get Jokic or Luka? You would think not but worth a call.
