If you’re thinking of Rozier as the bench scorer I get that, but he just signed an extension for 5 years. Could just take Kemba instead as the bench guard into the TPE.
Largely because I don't think Robinson is the best fit next to KP.
Yes, you could take Kemba into the TPE. One of the benefits of dealing for Rozier is you are moving off of THJ (who is replaced for pennies by Grimes). If you are taking back Kemba, you don't get rid of THJ. I don't have an issue with the Rozier extension.
With the mandatory caveat that I don't want to trade JB, if the return is Grimes and PJ AND I get to swap THJ for Rozier...I'm in. The issue here is Charlotte has to be desperate for Robinson. They are doing Robinson for PJ, which is probably a great fit for them. The question is whether it is a good enough fit to do the swap of Rozier for THJ as part of the "compensation" for Robinson.
