NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[mvossman]

@"DanSchwartzgan" keep up, my guy. 

We already decided to trade JB/KP for Simmons. 

Next topic.

Are you really sure that is something you want to do?  Ben is such a headcase, I don't have any confidence he will be on the court at full capacity any more than KP will.  He is also more expensive and has an extra year of potential albatross.  He is also a very awkward fit with Luka.  He does not protect the rim and he does not shoot.  Unless we are running Maxi out there as center, we will have two guys clogging up the lane.  Ben and Powell/WCS on the court together would be a shit show offensively.  Maybe you get a Theis or somebody like that but its still hard to see Luka and Ben coexist offensively well.  On top of that, you are dumping Brunson who seems to be growing every year, and as pointed out, there are not a lot of good options for him this coming offseason.  This seems like a panic move.

And given the amount of KP bitching around here, I can't imagine what it will be when Ben starts doing Ben things.
