Trades

• Deandre Ayton, Cameron Johnson, and [2] Top-5 Protected First Round Pick for Clint Capela and Kevin Huerter.

• Jae Crowder, Jalen Smith, Jevon Carter and Langston Galloway for Larry Nance Jr and Cedi Osman. (Add a 2nd or two if that's not enough)

Signings

• Re-sign Chris Paul to 2-year contract worth $64.0M

• Re-sign Mikal Bridges to a 3-year contract worth $45.0M

• Sign Dwight Howard to a 2-year contract worth $8.0M

Explanation

1st: Ayton is a good young Center who has a lot of potential but I think they should trade him to a more experienced one. That's why they will get Clint Capela. Capela is a great scorer in the paint, great rebounder and great rim protector. They will also trade in this deal Cameron Johnson and 2 First Round Pick. They will get Capela and Huerter in the full deal.

2nd: Getting Larry Nance Jr and Cedi Osman would be great. Nance is a good all-around player. He will be their starting PF. Osman is a good bench player who can playmake and score good. He will be their back-up SF.

3rd: Signing Howard will be super beneficial. Dwight is an old player but still a good player. He still is an athletic big. He can score, rebound and block shots well.

Lineup

• PG: CP3/Payne

• SG: Booker/Huerter

• SF: Bridges/Osman

• PF: Nance Jr./Saric

• C: Capela/Howard
