2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[cow]

I am Maxi's number one fan and think he's a better player than LM but at this point, I would probably do the trade just for the possible upside.  Perhaps I'm just getting desperate for some talent infusion.

I like Maxi too but it is beside the point.  Maxi's our second best defender, maybe 3rd with the addition of Bullock.  That puts a lot of pressure on KP rounding back into defensive form and WCS showing up every night.  Either my be possible but both of those things happening seems highly unlikely.
