To be fair the only guys I really want out of those flurry of trades are Conley, Adams, and Dragic. All of them I perceive as attainable without convoluted sign and trades.
Maybe the Mavs could wrestle out a future first for compensation of taking on Adams!
Well, someone has to do it since Kamm ran off DL
I've liked Adams going all the way back to his draft. He really fell off last season, but I perceive him to be a fallen angel type (though an expensive one). I've been playing around with NO deals and just can't find things I like from their perspective. The Zion/Ingram combo is so bad defensively. How do you take anyone from a bad Mav's defense and make that work. You could send opted in JRich plus WCS, but that is just a kissing your sister type move. Would they promise not to match an offer to Ball if we added Brunson? I don't know what to add unless I know what we got for KP and there isn't much point in Adams if you still have KP.
Rather than a first, I've looked at ways to get Ball. There was a Sexton/Prince for Bledsoe/#10 rumor and I was trying to get in the middle of that. NO could desperately use Hardaway's shooting, but now their D is even worse (plus, THJ would have to agree to go to NO). It feels like there is something to be had here, but not loving anything so far.
