I think that one of those two guys, with Rozier, Graham, and 23, would be a nice haul for the Mavs, and probably better than what we sent out for him (even given that THJ was a plus for us overall, until lately).
I wouldn't deal with Charlotte for KP without one of those two guys being included. Rozier is a good player, but overpaid. I would consider it if we got 23 and 25, and would pull the trigger for sure if we got 3 picks. Although that's a dicey deal given the Mavs' usage of picks other than Luka and Brunson.
I think Melo could be top 10 in the league someday. Luka is, or at least very close to, top 5 today.
I agree that one of those guys should be included if I am Dallas.
I am genuinely curious as to who is considered the better player between PJ and Miles?
I am only suggesting Charlotte wouldnt do the deal for Bridges based on chemistry and cheap contract.
I know little about PJ and his potential. Is he considered better than Bridges? Is he considered to have a higher ceiling? Would moving PJ instead of Bridges be considered a bad move around the league? I really dont know.
I know PJ and Miles have similar stats this year. Similar size but labeled different positions.
I guess I am not educated on why you should keep PJ and move Bridges when the chemistry between Melo and Bridges seems strong? Is PJ a better shooter? Is his defense way better? Better team fit long term(at 4M it seems like Bridges wouldnt be a fit problem or money problem?
Maybe I am over valuing Bridges/Melo connection.
