If you win the lottery, you run to the podium and take Wembayana. Maybe in a couple years he’s the one you keep and Luka is the one you trade. I can’t think of many packages I’d trade Wembayana for. Maybe if the 76ers blow it up and Embiid asks out.

For me to trade Wemby, the resulting trade would have to make the Mavs Vegas betting favorite to win the NBA title.

1. Luka
2. Kyrie

Keep the youth and build upon it. This would give us one of the best and deepest backcourts in the league
3. Green
4. Hardy

Can’t throw away useable bench players
5. Maxi
6. Bullock

Trade bait with no guarantee of minutes 
7. THJ
8. Bertans
9. Mcgee

taxMLE: we must hit on this
10. Hayes/Mcdaniels/Crowder etc

Pick #10: get our guy or trade down for more assets. We must hit on this
11. Hendricks/Walker , Lively in a trade down etc

Vet min players who fit i.e. leadership, role etc
12. Powell 
13. Emergency guard Dragic placeholder
14. Older player in need position i.e. Jamychal Green

Four undrafted free agents carefully scouted
15. UDFA 1

Two-way- UDFA 2
Two-way- UDFA 3
Two-way- UDFA 4

Make these moves and then for the rest of the offseason and into next season if need be, shop the package of 2027 unprotected + THJ/Bertans for the right deal. Can’t miss

But I would keep him. I think he's another Kareem (rather than another KP). And that's enough for me to want him playing here, not elsewhere. He not only increases your ceiling now, but he also lengthens your timeline for remaining an ongoing contender.
