But my main hangup is the fact we're basically trading out a 25 year old version of a stretch big thats oft injured for a 32 year old version of a stretch big thats oft injured.
Sure we get Wiseman, which is a good get don't get me wrong, but he isn't going to help the Mavs win now at all. And there is a realistic chance that Wiseman never develops past what he is now.
It's risky, and a lateral move imo.
I think KP is overrated. Not a bad player but overrated. He is a stretch 5 that can play interior defense when healthy. He can score at a much higher clip than so-called other stretch 5s that can hit like a couple of outside 3's a game. I think Wiseman is a better fit so I like some kind of deal whereby you get Wiseman and cap space (ie Oubre).
The Love deal I am more lukewarm on but remember you are shipping out Powell's dead weight contract in the process. Love I think has been fake injured most of the time on a bad team, I bet he's healthy whenever he finds himself on a good team.
All that to say Mavs could swing for the fences if they wanted to and make 2 big moves: one for the future (KP for Wiseman) and one for the now (some overpaid player that is additive like a Love or Gallo).
