They really kinda had two fatal flaws ... a) No one in their backcourt can guard. b) No one in their front court can score. CJ for KP (and moving Powell to a long 2 guard) at least balances it out a little bit.
Ya I suppose especially if they add some more defense to their starting lineup. I bet they could get Aminu or Harkless back pretty easily, both of them have played well for the Blazers in the past. I think if you have 2 athletic wings next to KP you can make his defense palatable.
Another thing tho for ya'll to consider. Is Terry Stotts going to remain the coach? He and Rick I imagine are tight. Is Stotts not going to find out what a PITA KP is from Rick? He might already know.
But ya on paper a KP/CJ shakeup could appeal to the Blazers.
For Mavs rotations would be something like:
Luka/Brunson
CJ/THJ
DFS/Green
Maxi/FA wing
Powell/WCS?/Bobi?
At this point I would really consider moving Brunson for Mitchell Robinson:
Luka/J Rich?
CJ/THJ
DFS/Green
Maxi/FA wing
Robinson/Powell
