I feel like he would be the perfect complement to LaMelo… a modern day big with a versatile game, can handle, can stretch the floor, can run the floor, can work in the post, would be ideal in the pick and roll with his dive potential, and still could change the game with his length and athleticism on defense.
I don’t know how much Denver values him, but he hardly gets any burn despite flashing huge potential and putting up numbers when he’s been given the minutes.
I think this is the perfect move we could make to address our big problems… then sign Cousins.
I can’t imagine a scenario where we have something to trade Denver at 2-3m that represents the sort of value/trash heap find they feel they have there. And if we do, I’d greatly fear he’s got more foot issues that will arise.
I was just looking for a cheaper alternative with super high upside still on a low risk move… on the obvious, higher end of the equation, I’m eyeing Porzingis, Myles Turner, and John Collins in no particular order.
