2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

I like Buddy a lot. Are we sure THJ + Brunson gets it done? I don't think Buddy has negative value so they might like a better asset than Brunson and future cap savings.

Like cow said (odd typing that out), picks will most certainly be added. How many picks? Probably less than what we think.

I don't think there is a line of teams waiting for Buddy Hield. He is certainly a 1 trick pony. It just happens to be that his 1 trick makes him always one of the most deadly players out there on offense. 

He's in that nebulous space of too good to just be a role player, and not good enough to lead a team to the playoffs. The fact you can't make him your offensive engine takes out a lot of teams rebuilding, and his high priced contract hurts the chances of contenders. Put it this way, I don't think any western conference team aside maybe the Jazz would try to go after him. 

I think a protected 1st and a couple of 2nds would get it done. Brunson is a young piece any rebuilding team would like and THJ saves the Kings from paying their roster upwards of 130 mil next season.

SH, it wasn't so much Rozier specifically so much as a starting-level PG in general.

Ah. My mistake sorry!

In any case I don't think Roizer is worth the title of a starting level PG. I think IF the Mavs want to go adding another playmaker, Ricky Rubio is a more interesting prospect.

Another one is Mike Conley, who could be had for pennies on the dollar considering his large expiring and poor play. 

I don't think a starting level PG is the highest need on the totem pole, but I do have concerns about a Brunson-Burke backcourt to produce every single night, and a starting level PG in that role will certainly solve those issues.
