Does KAT Want Out?

[m2002brian]

Get a PG worth his contract, plays defense and has athleticism. Gets a couple first, can always be used as trade assets. Clear up the guard glut. Add some size down low. Move DLo to bench SG, Bev runs the second unit PG spot until traded to a contender at the deadline.
We take Marvin off Sacramento’s hands and then immediately cut him / buy out. Eventually send out DLo and Beasley and add some toughness and IQ to this team.
Leo then becomes the leader of the second unit. Argentinians are good at that sort of thing.
Finish out the roster next year with a solid draft and get some smart shooters in here.

If we are to trade him the teams to look at at the Thunder and Hawks. The one thing we can’t do in another rebuild is rely on all young unproven players tho. So if it isn’t in the trade for Towns we gotta go out and get some proven players in follow up moves.

SGA would be a very nice return for KAT at this point but that's unlikely. My dream scenario would be KAT for Barnes and OG but that's just as unlikely.

I am a KAT fan but his game just hasn't improved as I expected over last few years..his 3 pt shooting improved but I feel like his post game has slightly gotten worse over last few years.I now wouldn't mind if we even trade KAT as long as we can get a good package...maybe build around Ant

Yeah, if he wasn't before then last night was the definitive answer to me.

I think the only question is when; mid-season or after?

Which would you prefer?

I don’t think it’ll be midseason only because Lore/Arod will want their handpicked POBO/GM making the trade, not Gupta.

That's fair. They did seem to be happy with him before the season but that could have been lip service.

Ideally it would be nice to wait for the lottery results to see who might be interested. But as I've said for a while now, the wild card is Ayton. If KAT makes a demand mid-season, ala Davis a few years back, and the team is interested in a Suns package it'll be far easier to trade for Ayton during the season than after.

You think really highly of Bitadze who barely plays huh. I don’t even think he’s worth Naz straight up.
