I think KP for the Simons TPE is possible.

GSW will use the cap space to sign Lebron.

KP is better than guys like Myles Turner and Mitchell Robinson.

I think it's worth it.

I think the only problem is at $20m we can't get a significant guard addition and still duck the tax, but I'm fine with that. The upside on a healthy KP is worth it and assuming the cost to acquire is low, the risk on him staying healthy is still ok.

The secondary move is to trade Hauser to free up more cap space.

Duren really tanked his value last playoffs, but I think we can't discredit his regular season production for a whole year.

I don't want him for JB, but if we can acquire him for a non JB package I think there's hope for him to thrive here.

Interesting.

Too bad DusterBuster gave up on a trade a while back between Boston and Portland. He would have been the first outsider to win the coveted Wall of Fame

So what's gonna happen with Tobias Harris?

IMO, he's a better replacement for Harris.

I can't see them letting Duren go now. That frontcourt could be pretty good.

He's 22.

I'd be shocked if he lays back to back eggs in the playoffs

It will take JB for Detroit to let Duren go.

Imagine if they gave up Duren + Ausar for JB. Ausar is tremendous defensively but he's got not much scoring touch that Detroit decides to go scorched earth and try to get JB for both.

Nah they'd still lack a C and would suck. Not gonna happen.

I like KP, though 20 million is maybe a tough fit.
Bigs who can play are getting paid.
