THJ is terrible and these MAVs will be swept by the Clippers

So would Indy take THJ & the 18th pick for Turner?  Maybe Indy would want more?

I would say this is a bit light offer for them. However, lets say we do the deal around this package, adding some sweeteners. How do you cover the gap left behind THJ departure? He was a very important piece of our offense.

Lots of answers to this question. 


First, on offense alone.

• he could (and should) turn out to be about a 15ppg player, if not more 
  
• if he can get and keep his 3% up in the 36-38% range consistently that would go far in making that (the 15ppg) happen. He's young and practicing  3's, so he has a bit of time and willingness to make that happen 
  
• he adds offensive rebounding to a team that doesn't do that very much
  
• he makes the defending team pick their poison between him and KP with their bigs, or smalls. Either of the 2 (along with Luka) can post up on smaller guys, Luka and Turner become the banging type of post up player while KP is the finesse one. That adds more dynamics to our high powered offense. Having the choice of who to feed the ball into the post to is a pretty big luxury
  
• he's another pick and roll partner for any ball handler, and that play creates a high % shot
  
• he'll learn to pass more and better playing with Luka. Passing is contagious as we saw with Kidd 
  

Second, on defense.

• he defends the biggest guy on the opposing team leaving KP with less of a banger who will wear him down. That in turn allows him to have more energy on offense and also allows him to roam the paint more to be the defensive sniper. 
  
• He adds blocks which can add offensive possessions
  
• more defensive stops creates more offensive possessions
  

Wow, since you put it like that - I want him more, now.  Do you think Indy would do THJ, 18 and 31 for Turner?
