BKN interest in our core players (I won't include Green here, I'd be hesitant to involve him):
- Dinwiddie: They'd lose a good ball-handler in Kyrie and would need at least someone capable at the position, htey have Curry/Mills/Simmons here, could use Dinwiddie.
- Hardaway: They already have Curry, Thomas and Harris. All better players and shooters than Hardaway, no 0 interest in Hardaway.
- Finney-Smith: Even though they have Durant/O'Neale/Simmons, DFS would add another good defender for their defense. It'd indicate that they're not confident in Simmons at all.
- Wood: Here is where I think they need most. Their frontcourt depth have already been mentioned as of what they'd search in TDL (i.e. Collins). I'd guess they could very well use Wood as a 6th man.
I'm not worried at all about his fit/bad attitude. Obviously I only trade if we could extend him. It'd be a great 2nd star (and we don't have to trade, which means we have ammo for a big trade down the road). If DFS is involved, we'd have to trade for a defensive stopper. Preferably at PF since we'd be using Bullock/Green as our wing defenders. Thybulle, Vanderbilt, Hart, Williams (OKC), Green (CHI) should all be available.

We just paid a whole lot of money to a guy that went 9-29 (31%) on FG and 3-20 (15%) 3-pt% in both our win or go home elimination games last couple of playoffs. SMH
