Trade Speculation/Ideas 2019

I like him as a player and think he'd be a good fit but not enough to justify that contract tbh

Barnes and Porter would be nice for spacing and I'm intrigued. But the 2 of them should combine for 30-35m a year. Not be paid 25-28m each. That's a killer imo. If the trade is just Powell and Wes for Porter then I'm out. I can't justify paying Barnes and Porter 50m a year and get maybe 35 points a game from them combined. That's just not going to come close to cutting it in the West. Unless someone is telling me Otto will be an all star here that's way too much money.

IF we decide to trade Smith....or there could also be a few different versions of this trade without Smith.

I know there is a lot here but I think these guys would fit well around Luka.

Luka / JJ
DSJ / Lee
Barnes / DFS
Kanter / Kleber
DJ / Dirk

Getting rid of Wes opens things up for DFS and I think Lee would be better fit than Wes.

Getting rid of Powell...well is getting rid of Powell and we get back Kanter who isn't playing as much but is a DD machine. We could see how he fits with the team and either let him walk or resign him next year because I think is offensives skills are a good ft with Luka.

There might be some concerns on defense, but I think we would manage.

The 1st trade is an absolute 10000000% no from me. I'd go into a depression if we made that trade. And the 2nd one is 100% a no from me. We need a Bjelica type 4 imo not a Kanter type 5. And at best Wes and Lee is a wash, to me Wes is better but I'm not gonna bang the drum loudly that he's better. But I'd rather have the expiring Wes than Lee for 12m next year. IMO we can do a lot better than those trades.
