I think you described DeAndre Hunter very nicely. He looks the part but doesn't really have as much of an impact as one would expect. However, Atlanta is trying to compete, so I am not sure what would convince them to sell their starter to Mavs. I think their goals are more towards bringing in a "third" star next to Trae and Murray.
Yeah, I am having trouble finding any workable deals for these type of players. Ideally you could maybe steal one with a limited asset, but Dallas doesn't really have the contracts or picks that work here.
I am sort of stuck that the guys I really want may not be available but if they are we would be tough to compete against other teams. The guys who may be gettable are not guys I would want to use good assets to get.
