I've kind of blown off the "KP for space" or "KP for S&T FA" deals preferring to look for teams that need KP and have assets we might want.  Why would I trade KP for DeRozan when I can just sign DeRozan? 

In most deals where we trade KP without getting back a center, the automatic go-to is Holmes.  I'm a fan.  But he's $14-$18mm.  If we are dealing with SA, why not just take back Poeltl for about half of that. 

• Re: Why you would S&T KP - the answer is if you don't want him and someone else does. We don't know if Mavs want to keep him or trade him and its unclear what teams want him.
  
• Re; Poetl, I don't get the angle there bc Poeltl is under contract and Holmes is a UFA on a bad team that doesn't have his full bird rights. One guy is someone you'd have to give up assets for, the other guy is someone you can sign outright.
