After some brief thought, probably should just dismiss any ideas related to OG/Siakam. Those all instantly went into the trash the moment the Mavs failed to hit top 4 in the lottery. Pick 2 or 3 actually since they likely only move OG/Siakam for Scoot or Miller. Would have been similar to a Jrue/Ja situation if the Mavs moved up in 2019 but the Mavs never move up so too bad. Raps aren't rebuilding and don't need to shed salary. Portland is the one that will likely be doing a deal for OG/Siakam so the Raps can shift some star power over because their guards are weak.
Better stick to more realistic deals. Need to find some players that are like KCP quality but for the front court. Players with potential such as former lottery picks on bad teams, bad team situations, teams with bad cap situations, etc, i.e. KCP when he was on Detroit. FO needs to not f this up. Going for a player like OG is not going to work out. It will take literally every single positive asset (#10, Green, Hardy, 2027 1st) and the team will pretty much be the current Suns and just lose to a deeper & more well built team like the Nuggets. Mavs already made their star move with Kyrie, just need to fill the roster out with quality role players now.
