2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[HanspardShowerVoice]

I couldn't understand the premature desire to trade KP and now it's the same thing with Brunson.
Why would we give up Brunson who has been playing great this season as our backup pg?
Tbh I can even see borderline allstar potential with Brunson if he keeps this upward trajectory going.
His quickness, finishing at the rim, mid range and 3-point-shot add up to an almost complete combination of offensive skills. If he manages to be more of a floor general, we have the future best pg backup in the league to run the show for the second unit.

The point is: We want to add talent to the roster in order to compete for a championship. Adding talent while losing our 3rd best player in Brunson is not getting us far.

In my proposal of Brunson for Terrence Ross and Aaron Gordon, you're trading 1 back up for two 2021-2022 Starters (and then using the savings on resigning Richardson on better opportunities).   The one thing this free agent crop has is point guards who can score off the dribble.  

I like Brunson a lot too, hate to give him up.  But let's also remember the clock is ticking loudly on his rookie contract and he's about to get paid.     I like Brunson a lot on his current contract.   I don't like him as much at $17+ million per year.
