Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Knutsen]

I might be off on this one, but I believe part of WHY they're not wanting to pay KCP (or Brown last year) is that they are one of the cheap franchises. 

I don't see a sign and trade happening with them. 

Further, I'd view KCP as sort of a lateral move from Jones. He's a little more 2-way, yes, but I'm not sure their defense is that far apart, and Jones is WAY younger. Plus, you know he's a fit in your culture. Seems to me that internal improvement should be prioritized over that one, although I do like KCP, the player.

I see it similarly - KCP is not good enough offensively to make us decisively better.
