I would never trade Maxi. He is by far our best defender and wins games, a lot of games for us. See what happened whenever he gets in the starting lineup or plays a lot of minutes, our defense improves and we win. He along with Luka and KP are the only 3 in my opinion, not for trading. Not only that be he can also rim run effectively, and shoot 3 better and better. Essentially he is far better than Powell at that Center position to play alongside KP.
On Covington. How much better than DFS is he? If a lot, he is worth giving DFS and lets say Curry. Or Brunson and Curry. If the bench players are used it might be a good deal. I would still like to add Bogdanovic also if possible. I think the offense needs someone else that can shoot but also playmaker when Luka is doubled. THJ does not cut that, he can penetrate but he cant create for others. Also Bogdanovic seems better defender than THJ from what i read. And even better shooter perhaps.
