NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[KillerLeft]

If we are fortunate enough to find a taker for KP, the only prerequisite should be to not have 30-40 million tied up in the Center spot for years to come. Pass on Gobert. That contract won’t age well. He’ll be making 47 million in 25-26.

I understand this perspective, I really do. You might be right. But, in the meantime? You'd be adding a HUGE defensive difference maker (and someone who'd fit really well with Luka on offense) to an already improving Dallas defense. 

You could argue that a true defensive difference maker could instantly vault this team into the conversation, and two of the three best defensive presences in the league are available right now.

Maaaaybe DFS.

WHAT???? Its DFS man...the God King!   

I would include DFS sooner than Brunson in that deal because you'd be upgrading on the defensive end, and short term I think losing Brunson and KP (with THJ already being lost) pretty much ends the season. 

And, there's no question that Gobert is better/more special than DFS. 

But, I honestly do think replacing DFS would be much harder than people think. Bullock is no substitute - that much should be beyond clear.
