NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[SleepingHero]

Was just on tradenba looking around and saw a huge trade where we give up KP, Kleber and 3 firsts fir Koncar, Brooks, Adams and Jones and a Mem 2nd (it was in a 4 team trade where Mem got KP and Simmons).

That got me thinking… I REALLY like Brooks game and would love to have him here. KP and JJJ on there would be pretty great…when they’re both healthy.

Is this enough? 

KP/2025 1st/2022 2nd for Brooks/Adams?

I didn’t realize Brooks was 6’7”. A lineup of:

Luka/JB/Burke
THJ/Frank/Brown
Brooks/Bullock/Green
DFS/Kleber/Powell
Adams/WCS/Bobi/Brown

Adams and Brooks bring that thick toughness that we don’t have on this team and that looks more like a group of players that Kidd would thrive with. Brooks is s secondary ballhandler so we get that covered with the starting unit too!

I like the framework, I don't like the cost. 

I don't think the Mavs adding a first is worth Dillon Brooks. I love Adams, but the guy was just used as a salary dump and shouldn't carry that much value. Further the Grizz have Jackson Jr. that plays almost exactly the same role as KP, being a lanky stretch 4 that mainly spots up and blocks shots at a high rate. Funnily enough he's also injury prone. 

I think there are better analogues of that type of frame work. For example, the Kings might bite on a Buddy/Holmes or Buddy/Bagley trade for KP (*the latter I find more realistic), and I don't think it would cost a first at all. 

Another one could be with the Cavs+Thunder. KP to the Cavs. Favors+Sexton to the Mavs. Minor compensation to the Thunder for Favors. 

Point is that FRP need to be used in getting a return that's more substantial than Brooks, at least to me.
