I have mentioned him a couple of times. He was much better in Indiana, but most players performed better than in Chicago. I am totally fine with Wright+Jackson for Young swap, even if nothing else is coming our way. Add DJJ or Dunn for MLE and we are suddenly capable of fielding a very good defensive unit if needed.
Off unit: Luka, Curry, THJ, DFS, KP
Def unit: Luka, DJJ/Dunn, DFS, Young, KP (or Kleber)
Starting: Luka, THJ, DFS, Young, KP
Bench: Brunson, Curry, DJJ/Dunn, Maxi, Powell
We would still have #18 and #31 for a third string unit (plus Bobi, WCS or other 3rd string center and another vet like Barea or Lee) and increased internal competition. A lot of assets to combine for a higher level player while not really suffering in depth. Richardson for Wright and pick might make us even stronger but this easn't bad at all either.
