2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

As soon as I read Barnes in this reply I immediately went to MK. MK is still a great pairing with Sabonis as has been talked about over and over around here. Barnes to me is a better big wing to have than DFS in the same spot. In an expansion of that original deal, it would be THJ/MK for Barnes/THJ. We take on more tax paying salary, but that is alleviated if we use Burke and a second for their TPE. We then lose a spot on the roster which helps flexibility during the FA period. 

Question would be, does Barnes want to resign here. I guess considering what we swapped for, it wouldn't have THAT big of an impact. We would also have half a season to figure that out and figure out a deal at the TDL.

JB/SD
Luka/Green
DFS/Bullock
Barnes/Bertans
Holmes/Powell

This is probably crazy, but I think I would rather have Maxi than Barnes.  I like Maxi pairing with Powell in the second unit and I like DFS better than Barnes with Holmes.  Don't think Barnes is in the same category defensively as either DFS or Maxi, and he will cost significantly more.  Feels like we would be spending more and not really have a better team.
