2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[Mavs03]

KP for Rozier+Washington+Bridges.

Rozier isn't the secondary playmaker I am thinking of, but he does have nice assist numbers for a small SG scoring 20 a game.
Washington is the upgrade at PF, wouldn't interfere with a Holmes signing since PJ can shoot the 3 well. And the dude is just 22, think of PJ as the replacement value of the first round pick the Mavs would give to NY..
At the rate, DFS is improving, I am not sure if Bridges is an upgrade on offense, surely DFS is better on defense. But if Miles turn to be just a JAG as I think he is going to be, it sure is nice to have another athletic SF who can shoot at 40% clip. At least he has more use than a 3 point specialist like Bertrans.

Would Charlotte do this?
They do have a glaring hole at center and KP not only fills up the need but adding star power to a team who's scoring comes mostly form the guards. And, they have a guy like Hayward on that team which means they want to compete now, rather than later, can't wait for Miles to go on another level, he may not. And also, unloading Rozier will allow them to keep Graham and Monk. If they get KP their top 4 players could be Lamelo, KP, Hayward and Graham. Not bad.


For the Mavs:

F DFS/Bridges
F PJ/Maxi/Bey
C Holmes/DP/(Boban or WCS)
G Rozier/JR (if he opts in)/Green
G Luka/JB/Burke/Terry?

Still can sign THJ if he wants to stay.

No big 3 or even a big 2. Just a functional team that can compete and has the assets to flip for an upgrade.

Then at the TDL: You have everything you need to go at Lavine. 

That's a great trade proposal.  A good trade for both teams involved.  Rozier, Washington, and Bridges all shoot 40% or better from 3 point land and shoot over 75% from the FT line.  Washington and Bridges are only 22 years old.  Rozier only has 1 year left on his deal.  Washington and Bridges would still be on their rookie contract.  We would have plenty of money to spend in 2022 to go get a Lavine.

From Charlotte's perspective: Lamelo, KP, Hayward and Graham is a pretty good foundation.  They would have money to spend to add another player as well in 2021.

Thumbs up on that trade.
