2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

[Mavs2021]

I'm a believer in the possibility that this is the case.  I also think another creator who moves KP down a notch in the pecking order while simultaneously giving him better opportunities to play to his strengths can help.

However, you are certainly right about the injury thing.  It will be a threat to every season as long as he is here.  If someone offers anywhere near fair value, you take it.

And we arrive at what is fair value?  

I think it also depends what your plan is. If you sign a DeRozan or/and Lowry now, you are basically finishing the roster. You got to keep Porzingis.

If you want a shot at Beal or Lavine next summer, I think you trade Porzingis now. You take the injury risk out of the equation. Upgrade your young talent and maximize all your assets.

Worth a mention that Furkan Korkmaz had a strong FIBA tournament for Turkey as their #1 option. Might be an indicator he´s ready for a bigger role than Philly can offer him.

He could be a great S&T option. Korkmaz +28th pick for Kleber. Other options could include Korkmaz + Hill + 28th for THJ. 

Crucial will be that you can actually use our older players (Kleber, THJ) to sign players you want (anyway), but maximize our assets in the process. Also decision-time on Brunson.
