Trading THJ-Powell + picks for Gobert - on draft day, it can be a 2022 pick plus the next eligible 1st ....
I understand the limitations of Gobert, but if you can do that deal, in practical terms for the Mavs current mix, it's Powell to Gobert, plus 2 kids you never had. I don't think that's adding any limitation to the current mix.
But if such a swap needs to grab much-needed pieces at other positions, I'm not that excited, because now it's paying $35M for a center in a "centers are cheap" league, plus removing talent from other positions too, plus returning to a lack of flexibility. Then I think I'd pass, and spend my assets and payroll elsewhere.
