I'll take Vucevic and Lonzo no lie
I would too, but as long as we don’t have to move 2031…I’m only moving 2031 if we are rerouting those guys to Miami for Butler. Beal and 3 2nds for Vuc and Ball sounds perfect.

Tyus/Booker/Dunn/KD/Vuc

Then you can look at attaching 2031 to Nurk, Grayson, Royce, or Okogie to bring in the best wing you can find.

Do you still believe in DA, Jeremy? I just checked and his free throw rate is somehow at a career low. His turnover rate is at career highs and usage rate is near career lows. He has a negative BPM…at some point you gotta just realize he wasn’t the guy you thought he was…it’s ok, we all are wrong from time to time.
Yes. I don’t believe he ever got his chance. And when he did for portions of seasons, he showed how great he can be. The only way for me to not believe would be to use him as a #1 or #2 and see him fail. But he’s stuck as a 4th option behind a guy shooting 38% from the field.

If it’s Lonzo and Vuc, Id trade Tyus for as many 2nds as we can get tbh. Or maybe Tyus for Yabusele straight up?
IMO it would be unwise to put stock in Lonzo Ball staying healthy the rest of the season.
I’m fine rolling with Monte and Collin G for rest of the season, Tyus isn’t part of future plans, trading him for multiple seconds or upgraded rental in Yabusele is fine with me. Unless we trade for Jimmy. A Book-Jimmy-Dunn-KD-New center with Tyus-JO- Royce off the bench moves me.

I’ve always liked Lonzo Ball and wanted us to draft him in 2017, which made it even more disappointing when we fell back in the lottery. It would be interesting to see if he could stay healthy and regain his improved shooting touch he was developing.

I like Lonzo, too, but I think he has been so snake-bitten with his health that I don't think I would take a chance on him any more, except maybe on a low-dollar contract e.g. minimum salary.
