2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Of course. 

I, personally, don't think Turner is enough to let go of DFS. You seem to believe DFS is worth more than KP. If that's true, fine, but the other half of the board is trying to speak DFS into the deal as a means to keep Porzingis, which is nut bar factor 7 to me. I flatly do not want Turner here if KP is still going to be here. In that scenario, I believe the team becomes worse than it is now. 

I would LOVE Turner here instead of KP, playing WITH DFS.

Yes on all points. I definitely believe DFS has more value throughout the league than KP. By far. I also agree that Turner and KP are an awkward fit. Personally, I like Kamm's idea of a Turner trade as a precursor to a KP for Siakam trade. Turner/Siakam/Bullock/Luka/Brunson would be SALTY.

Absolutely, if we could get someone like Turner without including DFS then I'm all for it. If a miracle falls into our lap then by all means. As for Turner's value, we seem to disagree and that's perfectly ok. I think Turner is a perfect fit, but if you don't, at least not enough to include DFS in a deal, that's ok too. 

I think we all more or less agree on the general roster makeup we should be seeking, which is playmakers Luka and Brunson surrounded by versatile, athletic wings that can defend and hit 3s, and a rim running, defensive anchor big. It seems the disagreement is on how we get there. I think Turner would check that last box, and I think even if we had to trade DFS, we'd still have some good wings in Bullock, S Brown, Green, Frank, and THJ I guess to finish out the season and then we could focus on picking up another wing in the offseason with the MLE. If we could pull off a trade of KP for Siakam then all the better. I'd definitely be open to hear what you think would be some realistic trade alternatives though.
