JRich is the prize for taking on such a contract. Phi would not trade us Curry and #31 for JRich straight up, this is the way we get him from them.I've watched Richardson play against the Celtics. His defense was okay, but shooting 36% from the field and 30% from 3-pt range isn't going to cut here. A lot of bad shot selection (like our own THJ). I'm really out on him. With Horford then becomes an easy no.
1 year rentals tend to stretch out to longer contracts. Maybe that doesn't happen here, but the likelyhood that he likes Dallas once here is pretty high. Yes Curry is an elite shooter, the pick is #31, just the price to pay for a great fitting piece to the championship puzzle.
I'm really pending towards keeping THJ. Really can't see an upgrade with our assets. Bogdanovic (SAC), White (SAS), Lavine (CHI) are ones I like the fit, but don't see a trade. Doesn't matter where I look, feels like THJ is the safe bet.
A T. Young (CHI) for D. Wright seems to be the best option for the PF position on the short term. Maybe a S&T for C. Wood (DET)? After watchng him in the playoffs, I'm not ready to give the MLE to Millsap. Rolling into next year with:
#18: T. Bey: Backup Forward that can play inside and outside with incredible defense, ready to contribute now.
#31: X. Tillman: Backup big man that is a defensive beast and a great passer as insurance if KP/Powell gets hurt.
MLE: Gotta give some love to T. Burke. Guy is playing out of his mind and has been a great fit with our team.
