2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[cow]

I am skeptical that NYK is going to give up 2 first and Robinson for Brunson.  He is a UFA and they can make room if they have to.

CJ is overpriced, but I don't think they would have any interest in Hardaway or Burke and a I don't see Robinson plus a late first being enough.

Also, your description of CJ sounds a lot like Brunson, who is already roughly as good as CJ, many years younger, and still getting better every year while CJ seems to already be on the slide.  CJ might be a better fit as he is a better catch and shoot player, but this seems like going through a lot of machinations to trade Brunson for an older more expensive player.  I would prefer to just hold onto Brunson unless I am serious worried about him bailing.

I think that trade has Dallas sending out our 22 first since we are getting back our 23 first.  

I like Brunson over CJ and CJ over THJ so I can kind of understand the logic behind the trade.  I'd want Robinson though.  

Even though New York wants "Brunson badly", I don't even think they'd do my idea of a FRP, salary dump for Kemba and Robinson.
