If Cleveland does not want to trade Allen... the other Texas Longhorns guy currently playing for the Knicks, Jericho Sims, also fits this description to a tee but is a better perimeter defender because he's more athletic. I think the perimeter defense he can provide could be important since Luka is not a great perimeter defender. Another advantage of making a move for him is that he won't cost as much to trade for and his salary is lower.
Then the Mavs FO could try trading for PJ Washington using THJ or Holmes.
Luka..................... Exum, Wright
Kyrie..................... Seth, Hardy
Green................... G. Williams
Washington........... Kleber, Omax
Sims..................... Lively, Powell
