2 Doubt Mavs would want either. Not saying they are bad players, but rather that they aren't good enough to justify the massive trade price, plus the massive contracts it will take to keep them.

3 To me the fact they are lead players on a team that continues to be mediocre is a red flag as to their value - I think their price will be too high for what they bring to WINNING
I agree with the overall sentiment but OG shot 39% on 5.5 attempts a game from deep. Defenses aren't leaving him open out there.
I have been operating under the assumption that OG is much closer to a 30M player. He certainly (barely) plays to that level. I know that you and I tend to agree that he's a tad overrated here but he would absolutely elevate the ceiling of this roster. Having said that, it's not worth 40M. I'd rather continue to accumulate assets and go after a player more worthy of that price tag if that's actually what OG will be getting.

I understand where you're coming from but if you paid 24 mil for a player who becomes what you need or paid 24 mil for an asset you can trade for that player who is closer to your prime, does it make that much of a difference? I think it's all dependent on how the front office defines what this rosters current "prime" timeline looks like vs where they want it to be.
