I’m not leaving the Allen idea until the door firmly shuts, he’s too perfect of a fit.

Luka/Kyrie/Green/GWill/Allen is a really well balanced 5 and I want to force it into existence.

Worry about the moment Masai Ujiri calls and dangles Siakam´s expiring contract in front of Cuban and asks for 2027, Hardy and Green.

Lindsey needs to be the voice of reason, cause Cuban won´t be able to resist the veteran All-Star. Then Siakam walks in 12 months and Luka right with him.

Clippers going all in on Harden. Suns all in. GSW even older. Nuggets with some questionable moves. Grizzlies are still a “?” after spending a few picks and giving max to Bane. Kings did little and are still the Kings. Lakers a year older. Blazers blowing it up

The West is still open sans Denver. After we make a few moves we will be right there in the mix

I’m more worried about OKC and Utah. And eventually Spurs.

You can also argue if it is best business for Dallas to use their 27 first round pick plus assets for him as well.
