I wonder whether Jarrett Allen may become available. Don't think he'd be a good fit in D'Antoni's system. Not to mention, he doesn't share the same time window with KD and Kyrie.
This is my hope. I would like to steal him for cheap.
They'll probably start KD at the 5 and DJ will be their bench big anyway, knowing D'Antoni
I'm on the fence about Allen.
- I can't tell whether he'd be a good fit in our defensive system. CBS wants his starting Center to switch ball screens on the perimeter. The Nets aren't using him the way CBS would use him.
- He ain't an offensive threat outside the paint. Imo, he'd be a bad fit next to Brown who's an excellent slasher.
- He's about to hit free agency in 2021. That's the season Tatum's max will kick in.
That being said, he's a tantalizing prospect. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on these questions:
1. What's a reasonable trade package for Allen?
2. In a vacuum, is he a better prospect than Timelord?
3. How much will he command on the open market?
Imo, Allen has the higher floor between the 2. Timelord has the higher ceiling. Really not sure who's the better prospect.
