1. They already have 130 mil in commited salary for just 10 players, which is basicaly at the projected tax line (if cap stays the same)
2. They don't really have assets to improve the squad, unless they totally reshuffle roster by trading Westbrook.
3. Gordon contract is a huge negative
4. Their owner was hit hard by Covid
What are the chances they blow it up, because there is no way forward and the owner want to save money?
If yes, can Dallas jump in and trade for Covington?
I'm going to say after tonight's game - Yes... I'd give Kleber and the 18th pick for Covington.
Covington was the main defender on KP most of the game. KP got his numbers, but Covington didn't do a terrible job guarding him, even blocked his dunk attempt. Kleber and the 18th pick for him is a stretch for me though. Kleber is pretty good.
