I don't really think Robinson is any special and Knox is dead money. If we get Robinson Mavs have to move on from Powell/WCS. Are Mavs really ready to move on from their center core?Ya, part of my trade ideas with SA had KP/JB for White/Young and a swap of Green for Johnson or Walker. We would still need another playmaker swapping White for JB, but with his recent tear against SA, maybe they value him a bit?
As for the Houston one, I am not sure it makes sense for them. They certainly need a PG and could see Brunson as a long term solution. However, I am affraid KP is a big negative value. So in essence they are paying a great value contract of Wood and slightly negative Gordon contract for the privilige of eating 40 mil of additional salary from KP and Brunson.
One idea I was looking at, if Pop thinks he can turn KP into something. Thad Young and White for KP. But I guess there would need to be assets involved from our side, which I would not be prepared to pay. I agree with the notion, that KP would bring zero value back and it makes little sense to trade him at this point.
SA's deal would be to shut down KP for the year and tank for a high pick, then come back next year with what might be a pretty decent team.
