Trade 2 turns KP into a 5 for good. Young would be like a Millsap kind of guy, but good point on not having deep big rotation.
Trade 3 Is not that bad if you think that is a Lee for Leonard (we try Leonard till the end of the season and move Powell to the bench mob) and THJ for Johnson and Waiters (both will become expiring next season and Waiters could probably fill the THJ role while Johnson could provide more defense and phisicality). I could be wrong, haven't watched those guys in years but at least Leonard can shoot and probably rebound better than Powell (not sure about his defense, but in playoffs last year with the Blazers played really well overall).
In both of your trades, you're trading for some of the biggest locker room cancers in the league right now
Trade 1- Josh Jackson the former 4th pick isn't even in the league. Memphis relegated him to the D-League for now, thats how little they believe in his ability. Plus he's not even dominating the D-League, only 19ppg on 42/44/75. Not to mention the biggest red flag that Phoenix gave up on their 4th pick so quickly, and that once they gave him up they've immediately become a strong team. Their GM said that chemistry and locker room presence matters. Jackson has been arrested once and Memphis doesn't want anything to do with him. Doesn't that signal a huge red flag?
Trade 2- Making KP a 5 is a mistake imo. He is most lethal on the perimeter, as he's always been. And he's best paired with a 5, like Kleber.
Trade 3- Trading for Waiters?? Miami suspended him at the beginning of the season because he was unhappy with his playtime and came into camp out of shape and unmotivated. Now earlier this week he's just been suspended once again 10 games for taking marijuana on the plane headed to a game. The guy is the literal definition of a locker room cancer and Miami would do anything to give him up and have him be someone else's problem.
