Then I'd ship Russ and the picks to Charlotte for Rozier and Hayward.

Rozier is exactly what we need from the guard spot, and Hayward is a quality shooter in his own right, who can also rebound and distribute.

Hayward would also make a decent trade chip on draft day, bundled with the pick, or at the deadline as an expiring.

That's the best deal on the (current) market for Russ: it gets us the best players available, keeps some financial flexibility, gives us shooting from two different positions, both can play off ball, etc.

That would give us Myles, Bron, Hield, Hayward, Rozier as a starting five, tons of shooting, great interior D, and we don't really lose much on AD since he and Myles will both spend a fair amount of games in street clothes anyways.

We'd have two expiring deals in Hield and Hayward next year, Myles coming off the books this year, and we trade Bron next summer.

We'd be light years ahead on a rebuild, while quite possibly fielding an interestingly competitive team this year.
