Focus was on getting some D in a trade for McCollum. Maybe that's Simmons or maybe that's a defense oriented big. The question was whether you could replace McCollum's production with Anfernee and Powell and they said something about JRich for Nurkic to provide a little D in the back court. They then quickly clarified the 19/20 version of JRich and then further clarified that maybe it needs to be the 18/19 version. Just thought it was interesting.
Everyone wants the 18/19 version of Richardson. That doesn't exist anymore unless he goes to a talent with established stars. Even then it's a big maybe.
