2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

Are you getting this player by trading KP? True question. I don´t see it.

Working around the edges with our square peg to fit it in the end might be worth it. Trading KP now seems like throwing away all pegs and ending with a board (Luka) and a lot of big and small holes and some pieces way to small.

By the way in the NBA:  4th in Offense 15th in Defense >>> 10th in Offense 4th in Defense.

We all now that Defense can supercharge an Offense. But bad Offense kills every Defense.

Those are all fair points, I don't think we're getting a star moving KP but I feel that even if you moved him for Wiggins/pick then you'd at least have a reliable two way player next to Luka (which we have none of) despite all of Wiggins faults and more importantly you'd be able to use the minutes freed up by KP to fill with players who are more defensive/rim running oriented in the front court which I think that Luka AND Rick both operate with much better than with what we got today.  I just don't see KP as the second star that can outplay his flaws at this point.  He did for a while last year but if he isn't going to play good defense then it's time to reconstruct our roster.

And like I've said, I hope the guy shuts me up in the playoffs.  If he played like he did last year I think a lot of people will eat crow.

"By the way in the NBA:  4th in Offense 15th in Defense >>> 10th in Offense 4th in Defense."

^^^I do disagree with this though. I also think that it doesn't take much to put players around Luka and Rick to have you offense be more like 6 or 7 instead of 10 with a good defense but perhaps that's wishful thinking.
