Wow. In my opinion the trade is way to good for the Mavs. Lamb is basically another JRich, THJ level player but he is coming back from an injury. McDermott is a great shooter. Something the Mavs desperately need. Turner will probably finish top 3 in the DPOY voting. Add two 1sts and it is a no brainer for me.

I guess I see Turner as a more mid-level version of KP. I think Turner is one of the few bigs that'd pair well with KP btw, and would be interested in adding him alone.

Let me put it this way. I view KP's value at the top end worth 3 quarters. He's currently only worth 1 quarter since coming back. I see Turner as 2 dimes, Lamb+McDermott as a couple of nickels, and the FRP as nickels at best since they'd be late late firsts. 

So if KP stayed exactly who he was today, then yeah that trade makes sense for the Mavs, but I think it's a bit foolish to think the KP we see today is going to be the same KP in a month or so. And the KP at his best is better than all those players in that trade combined. 

Add on top that we're losing DFS, our swiss army knife defender who is also worth in my mind a dime, then you can see where I'm coming from.
