From Stein
Allen is the ideal fit, Mavs probably don’t have enough for him. Cavs still aren’t for sure ready to trade him anyway.
Zubac may not be truly available
three guys Dallas has gone after: Capela & Ayton (talks stalled on both) and Naz Reid (never got a chance)
See, and I’m reasonably confident they could get one of these guys (maybe any of them) by adding that unprotected ‘27. The fact that nothing has happened, to me, signals that they’re not willing to do that, which jazzes me up because personally, I feel icky about the idea that they’d spend a lottery pick on one center and then include another, possibly better pick to acquire a player who would impede the progress of the first one.
I hope they continue to improve the team, and center is certainly a place where that can be done, but if they can’t find the deal they’re comfortable with, I’m more than happy to go with Powell/Kleber one more year. They’ve just made sooooo many smart choices this summer.
