It’s a somewhat shuffling of the deck, using the 2 picks we have to realize the talent upgrades we need. For sure a threading of the needle, but that’s the state we find ourselves in after so many years of mishandling the team.
And I don't disagree with IGT either, but you might have to consider selling Luka at that point. Not sure he'd be on board for a complete rebuild. And on that line of thinking, could you use Luka sooner rather than later to make a play for Wemby?
Maybe the lottery Gods will finally smile on the Mavericks and solve all of this for us.
That said, I have put up a proposal of Luka and our big money cast offs (THJ, Bertans, Bullock and McGee) for the Tor vets (FVV, Siakam, OG and Achiuwa) and some picks to pair up with Kyrie. I think that team has championship potential next year.
