To me, the next big deal the Mavs make probably IS going to require more draft capital than we feel comfortable spending, and will probably include Green, Hardy or BOTH.
I just can't see spending that on Ayton and feeling good about it afterwards, even if I'd be excited about Ayton, the player.
So...if the most the Mavs can spend right now is two picks, Wood, Green, Hardy and a couple of mid-sized contracts attached to players the opposing team thinks they have the best chance of using/repackaging, and that package can't net a player who'd actually change the trajectory of the team, then I think the best course might be to simply not make a deal and hope to add something to that package later.
