That deal would be Love for KP, sadly our options for trading KP will be worse than what we gave up

We need to accept that as Mavs fans

We gain absolutely nothing by trading for Love. His contract runs well into the Doncic extension, so we don´t gain financial flexibility. His playing and motivational levels are below Porzingis. And he misses just as many, if not more games.

He may or may not be the answer we’ve been looking for, but we have a year to find out.

I would actually do this without Washington.  I think Charlotte would prefer to keep one of Bridges or Washington.  I want Bridges.  He’s been a beast since he’s been starting.  Shorter version of Collins with a better 3 point shot.  He can rim roll.  He can do some things hanging around the basket.  He’s even shown some ability to ISO and draw fouls.  In his 17 games as a starter (all recent), he’s putting up 19/7/3 on a usage of 20 and TS% of .659.  I think you can start him next to DFS and fill most of your 3/4 minutes between those two and Maxi.  

You can do this deal at the draft (my preference) by adding a small salary in place of Washington (I’d prefer McDaniels).  I’d want a pick also, but my preference would be their 2023 pick so we’d have more options to trade all of our future picks.  Such a deal adds $6.5mm to cap room taking us to over $40mm without JRich/THJ/WCS.  Or, almost $37mm if you keep WCS.  I’d probably sign Holmes and keep Powell and WCS to be a 3 headed C rotation.  You have Bridges/DFS/Maxi at the 3/4 with Bey and McDaniels eventually joining the rotation.  You have Rozier/Luka/Brunson as your guard rotation with Green/Burke getting some minutes also.  And you have somewhere in the $20-$22mm range in cap room still.  With Rozier on board, you can carry room into 22 if you wish.  You have a solid 8 man with backups at all positions.  And, when some star comes on the market, you have Rozier’s expiring deal and the ability to trade 22, 24 and 26 if you’d like.

Would they do it possibly, but KP is not going to bring significant value to us. 

His knees are done

Just wondering out loud.  Another guy somewhat oft injured, highly paid, productive when healthy.  Would fill that secondary offense creator role and you could go pay Holmes or Collins whatever it takes.

Or not good enough defensively?
