2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

I don't think you are looking at this right.  Lowry is a UFA.  We can sign him outright (don't need to trade KP).  If we decide to do a S&T for KP, that will not be for Lowry, it will be for cap space.  The recent proposal floating around (I might be the one who floated it) is to sign Holmes and Powell with that cap space.  So a better way to look at the KP trade is KP/JRich for Holmes/Powell.  You did not trade him for a young #2 (those guys are going for massive hauls that we don't have) but you did trade him for a young defensive anchor and a potential #3.  I think most people around here would pull that trigger, if for no other reason to move on from the KP health uncertainty.

Actually I was responding to another poster's suggestion.
