ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[MaxiThreeba]

Luka NOW, towards the beginning of a rookie max extension (cost controlled, and not even on a real max yet) could bring an INSANE return. 

Broad strokes, I’m thinking salary match with GOOD players, not junk, 5-7 picks and 2-4 swaps? Tough for any team to have more than that to offer, even.

Tough to find a team that controls enough picks, youth and salary to even enter the conversation.  In addition to ALL the picks, you would have to have a prime young talent to lead the package and be able to absorb a salary or two the Mavs want off the books.

Just taking a gander, would you feel like you did well if this season completely derailed and you netted the following from the Magic THIS offseason:

F. Wagner, Carter, Suggs, Bol, and Fultz and Harris as salary/flips for Luka, THJ and McGee?  Magic could send their own picks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029 plus the Bulls pick in 2023 and Denver's in 2025...along with pick swaps every other year....hell maybe the Mavs could actually get someone to SEND them 2nds as well!  If this season spiraled completely on the Mavs, they could potentially hang on to a top 10 pick and 2024 and 2025 would obviously be high probability of picking top 10 as well, turning that pick owed to NY into a 2025 2nd.

There is no way to get fair value for Luka.  It's an impossible exercise.  Even on the Magic side of things, is Luka/Banchero enough for you to mortgage everything?

I sincerely hope there is a pathway forward for the Mavs.  A Luka trade is just an impossible scenario to win.
