his plus/minus confirms it

it could be that the career-high minutes are hurting his efficiency

I like both Kennard and Zu, but we already know Kennard doesn't get minutes and Zu wouldn't either with Turner onboard. This would be a great consolidation trade (again dependent on having a good shot at keeping him beyond this year.) Bird rights blah blah blah...This kind of trade is the trade that makes the Coffey signing from good to great, if last year wasn't a mirage. Consolidate and put guys like Coffey in the rotation, there is a net benefit if we make good trades.

I've really talked myself into this one and will be disappointed if we don't get him, this would be the prototypical Clipper trade (opportunistic.) OTOH it's harder if Pacers only want to clear salary, we don't have a good expiring to offer (along with a future 1st.) They are a decent team though that seems past bottoming out, so 2 good cost-controlled players might be desirable for them.

Turner is better than mediocre. He can stretch the floor and is a good defender. Definitely an upgrade from Zubac

Kennard can shoot, but he is going to be firmly planted on the bench (ala Duncan Robinson) as you go deeper in the playoffs. Turner is averaging 17.9 with 8.7 Rbs and 3.1 Blks right now. Turner is taking more 3 pt shots/gm (3.9) than Kennard (3.4), but Turner provides so much more overall. He would help out a lot. If Turner has a great year, then we would hold his Bird Rights.

Don't think we need to move Zu just yet. Kawhi likes to look for Zu. Would be good to have one of Turner and Zu of the court most of the game.

I don't think none of us will be able to deal with another SGA situation anytime soon. Boston will kill it if he gets on another team and gets consistent playing time. Moussa already looks like a stud. Plus the kids are on super cheap team friendly deals not to mention OKC still has two more first rounders and two more first round pick swaps from us. Can't have bare cupboards with nothing in the wing these days especially with the league going fully young now.
