TRADE: Dinwiddie + Bertans to DAL | KP + 2nd to WAS

[DanSchwartzgan]

Bill coming around to my line of thinking has me worried. lol

I do think he's a bit more aggressive than me as he recently said you should only pay a center more than 5M if he isn't Joker or Joel.   I wouldn't pay Ayton a max contract and I guess Towns is debatable.  As talented as he is, I hate his personality.  I still think I'd rather stick to the ~10m range and get 60% of the production of a max guy and spend my money elsewhere.

Bob was largely in agreement with this, but held Gobert out as an exception because his D is just so impactful.  He cited numbers that show Gobert being "played off the court in the playoffs" is an exaggeration.  

Bob had lots of little nuggets...especially any time he mentioned how a player looked on "his rating system".  He liked the idea of going after SD in free agency.  There was a nice conversation about small ball centers of the past which had me wanting to go look for a 4/3 who could also help with our center depth.  I know, I know...not enough minutes to go around already.  But, DFS can play multiple positions.  The problem is finding they guy that fits that mold that you want to give minutes in both the regular rotation and the small-ball rotation.  I mean finding a guy like that is almost like finding a ..... unicorn.
