Napier? Sure. If the price is right and we get him for Jared Dudley and 2 second round picks (like Bledsoe).

This is the only move I expect us to make.
Monroe - traded for something that doesn't mess up our cap flexibility
OR
Bought out so he can join a contender and Sarver saves some money.

That's great. I'm not picky about who specifically it needs to be, so long as the player is fairly young, and the player is our long-term answer at the position. Sign'm up. I'm sure we'll have to take on Turner's ridiculous contract, in the process, but if we can trade BK's for his, it would really only be like taking on an additional $3M per year during the same time-frame.

Another terrible trade idea by yours truly...
Napier / Booker / JJ / Chriss / Chandler
Canaan / Evans / Harkless / Bender / Len
Problem is, if Napier ands up regressing and not being very good, we just took on 3-yrs / $29M while only giving up 3-yrs / $14.6M...basically half.

Add him to the list of reasonable possibilities this summer.
I've never really given his mentions much thought, and haven't really watched him, but maybe he just really likes to start lighting it up in his 4th year. After all, in one of the craziest NCAA tournament runs ever, where they were a 7 seed in their region, he puts that UConn team on his back to knock out Villanova, Michigan St, Florida and then Kentucky to win the NCAA Championship. He just looked built for the big moment that year.
Then you look at his efg% increase in each of the last two years, he clearly is a guy that seems to get better every year. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/n/napiesh01.html
I still don't really see him as a long term starting solution, but given what we have now, he'd likely be an improvement, not that that's saying much.

He can be on the roster like Luol Deng on the Lakers... but on the court? No.Please.No.
He's going to play. I don't think we're in a financial position to sit a $14m a year player. Even if it's 10mpg, he's going to play. Unfortunately
