Oh c'mon now, I'm being serious. I like the roster I posted quite a lot better than the current roster. Do you not see how good it could be if it comes together? The Timberwolves aren't the only ones with an ageing point guard, the Mavs have one too in Kyrie. So getting Garland for Kyrie would be like a gift that dropped into your lap. Also, Allen will be better than Lively for some time because the former is just stronger and more filled out. And there's a lot less crappy contracts too (THJ, Green, Powell, Morris, etc).

Doubled-down-upon trolling. 

Lively is going to be far better than Allen.

I know you say you're a Luka-only fan, but you aren't focused on what helps Luka win. Kyrie is a fantastic fit with Luka (not to mention the chemistry), and has at least two strong years left at his current level. Quit trying to mortgage Luka's next two contention seasons by making him less able to compete.
