I don't know what happens between now and then, but in '21, if I am looking at WINNING long term, I choose Luka/KP in Dallas every time over Middleton/Bledsoe in MIL. Especially after they let Brogdon walk to avoid tax. I don't see him staying in Mil on his next contract, which is why there is hope to get him. Any team that trades for him will have let go of all future assets to get him, just at about the time we are about to regain all of ours - only one future pick we don't own at FA '21. A SUPER team with the 3 best European players? All in their prime - or even YET TO ENTER it? All with complementary skill sets? This isn't the run of the mill Fish plan powder pipe dream. This is THE opportunity you stay available for if ever there was one.
Ultimately, this will determine if Dallas will be a dynasty or a consistently good team that maybe wins a championship - a la Dirk. Nothing wrong with the Dirk Era. Lots of fun. But what is the worst case in keeping that window of opportunity open? You make the moves in '21 instead of bringing in old/ill fitting players now and let this young team an opportunity to grow and develop? Barring something miraculous, I don't think anyone is suggesting an available trade that puts us over the top in the next 2 years, right? Patience!
