Or are you saying that Luka is not alpha enough to lead a Towns or Lavine to the promised land?
I think the fake stars are the ones that have too much public value and teams would demand stupid amounts of assets for. Wiggins is not an example of this, he was a distressed asset that was seen as an overpaid negative value contract. This is what the Mavs need to be hunting for. Find something perceived as negative value, that if brought into this situation with this team, will be the right fit and suddenly become a positive asset. Former 1st overall picks usually aren't complete lost causes other than like Anthony Bennett.
Kyrie and Love I don't see these guys being fake stars, everyone knew they were great, but yeah, any deal for them back then was going to require a ton of assets so don't really count on getting something done as a team with limited assets.
Some type of Vuc S&T seems decent if they wanted to go the Brook Lopez style route and use drop coverage defense.
