1) I personally think both Adams & Bledsoe would be better fits with Luka than KP & JR. So you might upgrade both positions right away.
2) Bledsoe becomes an expiring after next season because the last year of his contract is not guaranteed.
3) Adams is cheaper than KP by $14M per yr and both have some defensive liability in a playoff situation. Adams expires sooner than KP. Adams has been a consistent positive for his teams, helping with rebounding, screen setting, and overall great effort.
4) You get draft capital to either use or pass along in another trade.
Didn't Kidd trade for Bledsoe in his last year in MIL? I would not want to use both KP and JRich (I like Dan's idea of bringing back more $$ in a JRich trade). But in a pre draft trade you could do KP for Adams + Bledsoe and 2 of there four 2RP's - say 35 and 40. And then use one or both of the 2RP's to move off of Powell.
