BTW, I do think Olynyk would help. I don't think Drummond does much for us. He won't be able to stay on the floor in the playoffs any more than Powell. He's just a different kind of mediocre.
Solid points, although I wouldn't be as definitive as you. The Mavs have time and again shown no fear trading for a guy who's an upcoming free agent. KP, Wood, and Kyrie being the most recent.
I think the most likely reason why the Mavs don't trade for OG is because they simply don't have the ammo.
But you got me thinking of guys that are under contract and still fit that big wing mold. How about a guy like Deandre Hunter? Hawks were floating his name the whole summer. They were hoping to use him or Capela in a Pascal trade. I wonder if they could be convinced to move him.
