Kuzma however is a different story.
While I do see the pairing of Siakam and Luka would be really, really, really good, I don't think Luka needs a guy like Siakam to contend. I'm all for Siakam but a player a tier or two below him is enough. If the Mavs can get 2 Kuzma level players, I'm going to sleep well knowing Luka has help.
I'm hoping the trade Mav fans are all hoping for with the picks on hand lands them Siakam. But if an opportunity to get Kumza presents itself now that doesn't involve Green and Wood, I'd take it and run.
If Kuz is on the Mavs right now, he'd be the second best player (better than Wood). And if they keep Wood, IMho, all they need would be an upgrade over SD and a defensive stretch big to give Maxi some minutes of rest.
Let's name names though.
The SD upgrade could be someone like Lonzo Ball.
Maxi sub/upgrade could one of the Jaden McDaniels, Isaac, Vanderbilt.
Luka+Kuz+Wood+Green+any PG-big combo of those guys above is a top 2 seed in the West.
Oubre can be similar story to Wood in my opinion.
I think we can get him on the cheap and we don't have any player on this roster (3/4) with his quality. With Oubre on this team i'm certain this team would have 3-4 more wins for now.
Kuzma is different story. I think he is currently most ''gettable'' point forward in the league. He would be massive upgrade on this roster i'm just curius what would they want for him.
Any of those 2 on this roster, with available draft picks in the summer can turn things in other direction.
I completly agree on Siakam. I would also include complete Raptors roster on this. Siakam, OG, FVV.. Are all good, but for a big trade we should be targeting and giving multiple firsts for someone on 2-1 who can take the ball when Luka have nights off.
