You mean "never trade young for old of comparable ability". If PJ Tucker really is washed up, you don't want to trade him (although it still might be worth it just to get out of paying Jones Jr. next year - I never did understand that signing), but Batum looked washed up until he went to a better place for him.
Not that I expect anyone to be interested, but I bet Ricky Rubio is available now that the Wolves have fired Ryan Saunders, given that he's the reason Rubio went back there. (Well, that and the $$$.) Dunno what "PIPM" is, but Rubio's the best at it on the Timberwolves...
PIPM is another version of adjusted plus-minus. Various people have made their own adjustments to plus-minus...I think PIPM also folds in some box score information. There may be some other factors too, but I'm not an expert on all the plus/minus metrics running around.
But why..... what would be the reason? He's too expensive to be a backup and you want to trade away one of our only good defenders at a position of need.
I guess Morey really wants to deal, so let's give it another try: Is CJ almost healthy? CJ and Kanter for Harris, Maxey, Thybulle and Howard.
Backup PG wise the #1 target should be Delon Wright. Ideal backup who is shooting 38% from three, averaging 11/5/5. Any ideas?
I don't really like that guy's game. Not dynamic enough or tough enough and they probably over-value him, don't they?
If they wanted to trade KP then I would do this deal... I don't know if they would but I think that CJ and Nurk would be very good fits with Luka.
I don't think so. We add a legit backup PG. We add a great defensive stopper to bring off of the bench who may or may not be able to shoot the open three and we get Porzingis who can get his own shot, would be amazing with Dame in the pick and roll/pop, and is more active defensively than Nurk. Right now I am thinking in terms of what would these three guys add to the team that we've been putting out there for the last 18 games as apposed to what CJ and Nurk returning would do. I think these three guys would add more.
KP’s defense makes Kanter look like Myles Turner. It’s that bad. Is it the injury history or is it psychological? Either way, his value is at an all-time low and in no way worth CJ.
Kristaps unfollowed the Mavs on IG/Twitter Nurk for KP Even with his defense taking a huge step backwards, this is an even trade considering their injury history/concerns.
