Not sure he is even an upgrade over Gafford. He is not the defender he used to be and he is a terrible rebounder. The only possibly reason to send out Gafford is for somebody at the same price that can play both 4 and 5, and that's not Turner.
I´m just saying why the odds are what they are. Turner is also from Dallas and there might even be ways to acquire him with Kleber + Powell + X.
Certainly works with Marshall as X, but I´m not going to make a Bachelor in CBA to solve X for Hardy´s salary, Turner´s incentives, Exum/Omax and the empty roster spots with the teams current cap situations.
Doncic/Dinwiddie
Irving/Hardy/Exum
Washington/Grimes
Turner/Omax
Gafford/Lively
Is that a better team? I´d say yes, especially when you shorten the play-off rotation, but it´s probably more volatile in terms of play-off match-ups.
