I'm just failing to realize what Myles Turner does exceedingly better than KP?
They are strikingly similar players. Turner is more efficient than KP in scoring (though on vastly lower shot attempts). KP has shown he can carry a bigger load than Turner and is similar in rim protection.
Turner has KP beat in health and contract. So you can make an argument there. But if we're replacing KP with Turner, I fail to see how much better this team gets unless you're expecting Turner to take a huge leap. In which case we've replicated what we have with KP.
I think we should be aiming for another scoring wing. This team looks radically different when THJ or Dorian both score in double figures. I like Gordon Hayward a lot for that role, contract be damn. Charlotte is one of the few teams that also would be interested in KP. They have plenty of scorers, so losing Hayward wouldn't be that big of a blow to them.
If the play is adding both Hayward and replacing KP with Turner then I start to see the logic. But other than that I don't see Turners fit on this team with KP.
