All Aboard the KD Train 

Post#1 » by pipfan » Fri Feb 20, 2015 1:19 am

1. KD and Rose are buddies
2. KD wants to win, we are in the East
3. KD's handlers would probably like a big market

Step 1.
Trade Taj to Sac at the draft, assuming they finish around #7. We give up the future pick and we take Stein, or we trade the #7 and the Cavs pick to try to move up to take Towns-we get a young defensive prospect on a rookie deal, we save $ and free up minutes for Mirotic next year
If we can't move up we draft a PG with the Cavs pick

Step 2.
Resign Dunleavy for one more year, same wing rotation next year (no Kirk)

Step 3.
We run practically the same team next year, prepping McDougie and give Snell more burn

Step 4.
We can assume Gasol opts out in 2016, but it is fine if he stays too
We have a core of
Rose/Cavs pick
Butler/Snell
______/McD/Snell
Mirotic
Stein

Wouldn't KD fit perfectly there. We could probably move McD and try to resign Noah cheaper too, but that lineup looks incredible. I am sure KD would love to play with Rose, JB and Mirotic-and win titles

While we're at it lets go after Lebron too, because....well you know, who wouldn't love to play here, it's really that simple.

Yep, going to the Wiz if he doesn't stay.

I would rather play with Rose, JB, Snell, Mirotic and Stein than Wall, Beal and Gortat

Hmm, probably a bit premature, no?

Regardless, put it in the trade thread. Much more relevant there given this is a pipe dream at best.
