I want to lean more in on offense but the Suns are a scary example of how that could backfire.

You have three dudes who can score 30 ppg, another who is one of the best 3 point shooters in the league, and they're getting swept.

That tells me you need a balance. Duh, right?

I think this could work:

Murray
Herb
Trey
Zion
Allen

Jose
Hawkins
Dyson
Naji
Another big

My concern is that you don't have a ton of shooting still. Hawkins is going to have to be a consistent 40 percent guy and Naji, Jose, Herb, Dyson and even Zion will need to take more and get better from deep.

I like what OKC has built, it feels very current/modern NBA. An offensive engine with a bunch of 2 way role players that can play more than one position. The Pels are halfway down that track, they just need to go all in on Zion and turn the pieces that don't fit into better fitting pieces.

In a trade for Murray and Allen i would want to send out BI and Nance and keep CJ, but bring CJ off the bench to run the bench units.

You keep that offense and add more offense along with defense to the starting 5 with Murray and Allen.

BIG issue with that is MM is adament that any trade with Atlanta HAS to have Herb going to Atlanta otherwise they are not even listening.
