For those doubting this deal, I dont think anyone is saying Koufos is some incredible player or even a better player than Dion straight up.
It's not about that, it's about the fit for the team. Koufos is a legitimate seven footer with offensive skill. He is a decent shot blocker. Not great, but decent. He's a big body who can start and clog the lane. Prince is still a decent perimeter defender, I think.
Here is how the lineups would look if we got them both. Or a guess at what they might look like.
Kyrie
Miller (eventually)
LeBron
Love
Koufos
Delly
Marion
Prince
Thompson
Andy
That's all we need. We then have a balanced lineup and a solid bench. We can put Andy on the bench, move Tristan back to power forward and we're set for a deep run I think.
Koufos is a 1 year fix. We will get a better center after this year. But he is the big body we need to fill the gap for now. Same with Prince, on the perimeter.
