2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[Mapka]

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.

If KP can´t play any Defense anymore, he´s not worth his money, I just doubt this is the case.

I do see us not just getting a better player than Wiggins (that´s like half the NBA) but a more productive player via FA.

To me this defense/rim runner player is Powell. He and Maxi are great together and I can see KP fitting with both - every other big would be worse with one of them. 

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.

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.

Seems like you are right historycally about Offense<>Defense.


But it´s ten years since a not top5 Offense won it all.

€dit: But if you would argue the Mavs, 2013 Heat and 2018 Warriers could amp it up an D when ever they wanted, I would obey. I just think this might be true to a Luka/KP team too.
