If the package is the 1st + Kleber, i am more out than in. Because drafting a big (or a young talent in general), and keeping THJ + Kleber is probably way better for me.
Could still use the TMLE for a guy like Jalen Smith, and have a younger big to develop to replace Maxi in a few years (without drafting one). Basically adding 2 bigs (1 established / 1 younger big ) towards Kleber.
Keep Powell as expiring for a trade maybe. Otherwise he is insurance if Turner is injured.
Guys expendable/out: THJ (traded), Burke, Chriss (not needed anymore), Sterling Brown.
Guys in: Turner, Jalen Smith
Maybe someone needs a big in Powell, and you can turn him into another wing. Or use the TPE on a wing.
I think Kleber is ultra important. I am not convinced the Mavs beat the Suns with Turner instead of Kleber. Kleber ability to guard Booker/CP3 after getting a switch was basically one of the keys on defense in the series. Majority of Booker's/CP3 offense is getting a switch on the big, and cooking em. That didn't really work, because Kleber is too good on the perimeter.
I kinda see Green as semi important, if you can't get another wing. Otherwise the pressure on DFS/Bullock goes up even more if you trade Green. Frank had too much injury problems in the past.
Your first paragraph sums up my position.
