NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[Chicagojk]

I've thought about this for like 48 hours now, and I don't think this is just my blind love for the great DFS talking:

I think Turner is worth more than DFS (slightly) and so that would be the basis of a fair deal, but I honestly believe that moving DFS for Turner would make this team worse, and probably significantly so, given the apparent goal to pair any incoming player with Porzingis. 

Please, no more centers, at least not big-name, high-dollar centers who cost assets. 

FORWARDS!

I agree.  If KP wasn't here then I can understand throwing money at centers.   But it appears outside of a handful of guys most teams are looking for centers for the MLE or young guys on rookie contracts.   Centers seem to be falling from trees at this price range.  For the team we have with Luka and Jalen (and hopefully one more creator) having an open court is the best direction imo.   

I really need to watch Turner play more.   My impression is you really feel his presence on defense but the rest of his game is sort of Blah.   Maybe I am missing the appeal and that could certainly be true.   

So my focus short term is find a better Kleber.  Either via trade or use in combination with Kleber at PF.   Add that player and get a backup point guard and then we may have something.   Ideally, the backup point would be a 6'5 to 6'7 player who can offer some positional flexibility.  Josh Green in time??
