Ok don't get me wrong here. I'm not trying to spin your idea into something it isn't. I'm just solely pushing back on the idea that even should Wemby get injured, this team isn't doomed because it has Luka (and most likely Kyrie). The Mavs could still make other trades to fill out the roster (albeit smaller ones than a potential Wemby deal sure).
I think a Mavs team with
Luka
Kyrie
who cares
plays defense
Wemby
Is way better than a roster without Wemby.
And I have considered trading the 1st pick should the Mavs get it. I was one of the firsts to post a crazy trade idea. But I valued Wemby worth at least 1 current all-star, 1 potential future all-star, AND a lotto pick. Not a bunch of role players and salary cap relief.
