They are both VERY GOOD and productive players that FIT with our 2 STARS players and Adams is 25.

Al said he wants 100m (only a report) but nobody here thinks we should give him that. If we can get him for a reasonable price on a 3 year deal he would be great. Same with Adams, if we can trade for him and still have room to sign a 20 million player, why not?

I am just curious what posters like you want or are waiting for when we already have the CORE of our team in Luka and KP. As someone mentioned, we need to start building the team around those 2 and as far as bigs go, there arent many available that are better ones that these 2 or bring what these 2 bring.

I agree completely on the positive of adding Adams for essentially half his salary if you're truly able to send Powell back (a sunk cost at this point) as that would take care of our need at C for 2 years (potentially longer given his young age and our ability to extend him if the fit is strong) with a young/talented big that rebounds well and isn't afraid to battle (including playing some solid defense). I also agree that his numbers are a bit lower than he would get most other places with Westbrook. When you then realize that we might STILL be able to get a difference making backcourt player in addition to the huge upgrade at C with Adams, it would be a no brainer while still having long term flexibility (2021). That said, this is a pipe dream in all likelihood.

Dedmon for example and a solid wing / guard
