You bring in a guy like Kanter or Pekovic and you instantly have one of the worst players in the league in those categories. I don't see the risk/reward being even on a player like that for this team if the goal is to win games.
Fair enough. It would certainly be a risk. Like I said, it depends on the price for me. If it doesn't cost too much, I think his strength, inside scoring ability, and decent rebounding would all be big upgrades for us. I don't know much about how much of a black hole he may or may not be though. I do know that he's a poor defender, but so is Zaza, so the only concern I'd really have about it is if he's a massive black hole, and whether or not Kidd could snap him out of that.
If you want rebounding and scoring with no defense, you could get David Lee for Ersan/JOB.
Yeah, I'd prefer Lee personally. I mentioned in the predictions thread that something like Ersan/OJ for Lee works on paper, and I feel like both those guys would be able to help Golden State, but Woj reported that the Warriors have already received interest in Lee involving draft picks going to Golden State that would seemingly trump Ilyasova/OJ.
