But one man's trash might be another's treasure.I think it's a no-brainer if you can get him for that. As I roughly said above, I think of that as more of the 2 24 min C spots secured with 2 (at least) equal talents. This might keep Kleber really fresh as he gets something like 15 mpg behind DFS where DFS gets any of the overlap minutes at the 3 spot. In all honesty, I think it'll be hard to imagine someone wouldn't beat that offer though with the teams out there looking to get a C. However, he was available last offseason and I'm sure would have gone to the highest bidder, but Sac seemed to be that, so who knows?
Say a deal in June with something like Holmes to Dallas, and Brown + 1 of Chriss/Bobi + cash?
In noodling around the edges of what this team has in assets and how best to move forward, I keep wondering of something like that is the smart move. It allows Maxi to play at PF for less wear and tear, keeps your 2 shooters, and keeps the pick for someone young to put in the pipeline at a reduced cost. The downside is MC pays a lot of tax, but that's the price of talent.
It also opens the door to having another piece for potential use in a Gobert deal, sometime later, if Gobert is possibly put on the market.
Would you do that?
