Luka/Brunson
THJ/Lamb
Bullock/Sterling
DFS/Maxi
KP/Powell
That's a balanced team with lots of shooting.
Deep bench: Burke, Ntilikina, Green, Terry, WCS, Moses. One (or more) would have to go, possibly as part of the trade. My best guess is Burke + Terry and/or Moses. That would leave 3 good situational defenders in Ntilikina, Green, and WCS to fill any holes as needed.
I have always been meh on Lamb. I know he hurt a knee over the last year and a half, but I have not really kept up with him. While I see a gamble with some upside, I am not sure this moves the needle enough for me.
I am sort of intrigued with Omahen's Eric Gordon suggestion. Although that has some major red flags too that could stop be from moving forward with that. He is injured a lot and his three point percentage the last two years has really dipped. When Houston was real good with Harden, I think Gordon level of play could be Hardaway-ish. I can certainly see him going for 20 in a big playoff game.
With his big contract, injury concerns and dip in shooting percentage, the other big question is if Dallas has room to give a player like him 25 plus minutes a night? If the answer is no, it is probably better not to take on a longer contract and maintain flexibility. Although it did get me thinking.
