Just saying ... if we're trading KP, I'm much more interested in trading for McCollum than I am a bunch of long term project players and non Top 3 draft picks like the Golden State Wiseman + picks package or the role player pu pu platter trade that is often thrown around. Especially as an alternative to overpaying for 33-35 year olds like Lowry, Conely and Lowrey to 3+ year contracts.
I don't think Mavs would do the GSW trade without a third team that does give Mavs a win-now player or two.
A CJ/KP trade just isn't going to happen.
"Overpaying" 33-35 yr olds is in the eye of the beholder. I like Lowry and Conley depending on the years which is the only thing that matters. I would take 2 year deals on any of these guys all day long.
My favorite realistic option is DeRozan just because he would be a clear talent upgrade that you can get. He's also 31 and still in his prime. Fit is something to be worked out but I like him as a clear upgrade over THJ and J Rich. J Rich does nothing for me and is replaceable by an exception-type player. THJ is a good shooter but Mavs need a big-time difference maker and talent upgrade.
We can talk ab fit all day long but its hard to find the right balance of fit and talent so give me talent over fit all day when we are talking handing out big dollars.
