2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

I'd probably be more interested if the deal was more like:

KP for Avdija+Kuzma+KCP+1st. For sure a rich deal for the Wizards, but if they are desperate for a star to convince Beal to stay then the Mavs set the price, not the Wizards. 

I will say though the Mavs reported continued interest in Turner might give us a view in how they see KP. I don't see both of those guys playing together. Perhaps Nico is secretly shopping KP.

I still like your proposed 3-team trade with SAC and ATL where the Mavs send KP to SAC, Barnes to ATL, and Collins+Holmes to DAL.

Yeah, the SAC/ATL stuff is by far my favorite also.

Could you take the Wash pick and some of the non-Avdija stuff and send it to Indy for Turner?  Something that ends up with Avdija and Turner (even if we have to eat Bertans) starts to get me much more interested.  

It could be as simple as Kuzma and a pick for Turner, but instead of Turner going to Washington (where Gafford plays that role), he comes here with Avdija, Washington gets KP and someone small and we eat the Bertans deal.  Turner/Avdija isn't Collins/Holmes, but it isn't bad either.

Edit:  I realize Washington has been linked to Sabonis, but I just don't think they have the juice to get that done.  KP becomes the fall-back position.
