SnT Reddick (8mil for matching? Thats 175%) for Dinwiddie for 4/64 (start at 14 mil). 

Go over to the Jazz, convince them that JRich+Kleber are the guys they NEED to get over the hump. SnT them for Conley, starting at 23 mil. 

Finally go to the Heat. They apparently love THJ. I like some of their guys too, namely Dragic and Achiuwa. So THJ (4/84 starting at 18 mil?) for Dragic (MLE money) and Achiuwa.

I use Defensive On/Off....and occasionally something like the RAPTOR or LEBRON or RPM metrics.

I agree it doesn't make much sense for Miami to trade Achiuwa given they have the room to sign THJ outright with 1 of Goran/Iggy leaving. 

To be fair the only guys I really want out of those flurry of trades are Conley, Adams, and Dragic. All of them I perceive as attainable without convoluted sign and trades. 

Maybe the Mavs could wrestle out a future first for compensation of taking on Adams!

(07-14-2021, 12:13 PM)mvossman Wrote: Actually, Collins does not shoot the 3 better.  He shoots a much smaller volume and only wide open shots.  KP shoots roughly same percentage from wide open, but he is also willing to take harder shots and hits them at a reasonable clip.  He is a significantly more valuable floor spacer than Collins, especially considering he is doing it from the 5 instead of the 4.

I would not expect a firm commitment on KP’s future with the team, which will raise eyebrows for sure. Kidd doesn’t believe that Porzingis can recover his defensive mobility nor does he believe KP can accept a lesser role offensively.

I am not pulling anyone’s leg here.

Expect a significant roster overhaul - and yes, bringing back Nerlens is a real possibility. Mark loved Noel, remember the $70M contract offer? On Kawhi, it is this simple folks - he wants to play with Luka. I don’t think it has fully registered with some that Luka is one of the new faces of the league - he’s the 2K cover athlete for a reason.
