Cause Markkanen is a young available player capable of peaking at 20/10 on great shooting?
Have you watched these play-offs? Offense wins championship.
First we fix that side, then we focus on team defense and individual defenders. Upgrade Maxi to Markkanen, will probably cost us around $7-8M in additional capspace and we can probably extract a small asset for Kleber.
Pretty sure teams like the Bucks, Sixers, Lakers, who lack some cost-efficient shooting would give up a small asset for Kleber. Who s the 3rd best PF/C on the Sixers, if we even count Tobias Harris as a PF? Mike Scott?
Korkmaz/Milton for Kleber? Though the old MBT would probably do D. Green instead.
