Holding out hope a bigger deal is in the works but not for KAT. That Salary is to big to take on and risk like that is way to much to take.
THJ, McGee, Bullock are all trade bait as far as I am concerned and I am disappointed to hear of Powell's return.
Kleber and Holmes better do well and earn their roster spots or they get on that list as well. The rest I mentioned need to be on the way out the door ASAP and certainly no longer than the TDL. All 3 should be traded without giving up assets. McGee can be sold if we just let him play enough to look like he is good and then bench him. 10 minutes a game may help us to sell him if he starts the season on the team. The mavs may play him trying to showcase him and if he looks good knowing us we may decide to keep him. LOL
Lively taking more time to develop is a possibility and he started slow in his play last year. Adding guys that have real size and shooting would have given us another look to use instead of Powell. He cannot hit 3's enough to fool anyone and he is a bad defender. You better not play him more than a few minutes a game.
Bamba for sure would have made more sense and maybe Yurtseven or Azabuike who have bulk and size to bang inside with larger centers. I would almost rather have had Boban back on the team than Powell.
Exum is a nice find but doesn't do a lot for me. We already have Luka, Irving, Green, Hardy and Seth. I realize that may be a sign that the trade bait I mentioned is going to be gone sooner than later.
Pinson may look better this season than Exum and he has nicer size to use at SF plus he had that triple double last year that made me wonder if all he needed was a shot to play more minutes to start to break out.
Bigger names at center that may be available. Ayton rumors persist, Plumlee is a free agent or Zubac in trade also Jonas Valanciunas is rumored to be available.
