TDL 2026 we have an expiring 27yo J.Allen and a 22yo Lively with a year left on his contract. That puts us in the drivers seat to resign one of them long term and move one of them for the roster's most pressing need at that time. Kinda a nice place to be.
I'm not sure that's even possible. Are we able to trade two first-round picks at this time? I thought we were not.
Also, the Cavaliers would say no to this deal. They have Donovan Mitchell, Isaac Okoro, Caris Levert and Max Strus on the wings. They don't need two more solid wings. They may have wanted THJ last summer but they have since signed Strus and he and THJ are very similar prototypes. Isaac Okoro is also similar to Josh Green- stronger but a little less athletic.
They also probably won't be able to extend or re-sign both Okoro and Josh Green who are both in the final year of their contracts. That's already a very expensive roster.
Additionally, this would leave the Mavericks with two gaping holes on the wings. Williams and DJJ are both better at the 4. Who would play SF for us?
I think you've created the rare fantasy trade where both teams would quickly say no to the deal.
I like Jarrett Allen as well but what you suggest doesn't make sense from either team's perspective.
