So here is a short list of guards that might be available this season in a trade - Ball, Rozier, or George Hill.  

JRich + Rooky + pick might get us Ball.  But Ball still needs to grow himself as a player and then there is that Dad thing.

Rozier is averaging 15 shoots a game, would we still need THJ?  But JRich + WCS or Burke + Pick might get it done.

Last would you swap JRich for Hill, probable not, only played 14 games this year and is 34?

So Is there anyone else out there available in a trade this TDL that could help as a 2nd creator or PG?

The only way he could be more like Tyson would be to be his biological son. It's ridiculous our idiots got the best talent since LeBron handed to them and can barely build a 0.500 team around him, while blowing all their assets. Draft Bey and acquire Prince and Allen. Show you are not brain dead and wait for Lavine/Beal.I have said it before.Our problem in FA is that our FO is considered trash by agents and top players. That is why nobody signs here, same reason nobody wanted to sign with Knicks.

Not sure about the fit on offense. I guess he could space the floor but the Warriors aren´t playing a 5-out scheme. No team is running less onball screens. No team is setting more off ball screens. The entire offense is build around Currys off ball movement. KP would need to set hard screens to free Curry. Draymond is the ballhandler, Curry the focal point that draws all the attention with his off ball movement.  In the last few years the center position has been all about the "garbage man" role. Rebound, set screens, defend the post on defense.
Not sure if they are willing to change the entire offense for KP.

You also have the entire floor opening up for Steph and Draymond to get to the basket. KP is the perfect player in that offense.

The Draymond-Curry pick and roll works because Curry is the best shooter of all time. KP is league average. Not on the same level in terms of gravity and off ball impact. Curry  is also a way better iso scorer and can take advantage of switches.

(02-27-2021, 02:55 PM)DanSchwartzgan Wrote: Put me in the camp that says KP would be great (when he plays) in GS.  Their remaining window with Curry (32 and signed for one more year) is a major consideration.  Thompson and Green are both signed for 3 seasons past this one (as is KP with a PO for the final year).  They don't seem to have a budget and can't really afford to be too cheap with Curry's UFA year coming up.  Wiseman and the TWolve pick are there to bring back talent for the current era and KP fits the bill.  What they have left after the 23/24 season is a problem for another day.  

I don't believe the Mav Brass's protests that they haven't discussed KP with anyone.  I don't believe it is necessarily GS who leaked this (there could easily be a third team involved.

I don't do this for anything less than Wiseman and the best GS pick this summer.  I suspect that is not the issue.  The issue (assuming this is all true) is probably the filler.  There are versions of this that would be built around Wiggins as filler (which probably puts Dallas into the tax).  There are versions of this that would be built around Oubre and more filler (which would put GS FURTHER into the tax).  For argument sake, let's say Dallas is trying to use an expiring player and a pick or pick-swap to get another player.  Dallas would want expiring Oubre to send out.  GS could easily say..."no, send one of your own expiring contracts to Atlanta because you need to take Wiggins".
