2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[DanSchwartzgan]

That just means we have to generate our own.

If Chicago wants Drummond and Cleveland is prioritizing Jarrett Allen, I'd be happy for Dallas to be the 3rd team to somehow get in on WCJ. Either as the starter next to KP or the primary backup over WCS and Powell, I think he's a buy-low candidate who could be coached up into a good fit.

As always, the next question is at what cost?  Of course, all TDL discussions are under a bit of a cloud right now.  Are we making deals to add to a roster that includes KP?  Or doesn’t?

I like WCJr.  As has been stated before, Chicago needs to dump some salary to give LaVine a raise and then extend him (and have major cap room for other priorities).  So, getting rid of the partial guarantees on Sato and Young in exchange for Drummond might be attractive.  I’d propose

Drummond to Chicago
Johnson, Richardson and any Rookie to Cleveland
WCJr., Sato and Young to Dallas

You dump non-guaranteed WCS in favor of Carter Jr.  Sato replaces JRich and Young is a rotation PF.  You give up flexibility in the summer, but not sure who we plan to get with that room anyway.
