„All-in“ meaning trading all our assets, the 27 pick, Green, Hardy and anything else that could have value with the exception of Luka, Kyrie and Lively.
Question for me is if a team of
Kyrie
Exum
Luka
Siakam
Lively
can win the title this year?
I might do that.
My feelings on Green and (especially) Hardy have cooled off since the summer, for sure, and Siakim is the type for whom I could be convinced to give up the pick.
It really comes down to a few things:
1) Can the trade be had for that cost? I don't think I'd pay more than that for Siakim at this time.
2) He's going to get the max. He'd probably re-sign here, as long as the Mavs were to offer it. Is he good enough to be the second max guy (plus Kyrie, yikes) on the roster, or is the ass-ache of working around those three big deals going to be more trouble than the benefit of having him?
3) Does he WANT to come here and play with Luka? He gets that he's #2 now, right? This is actually really important, and we just aren't in a position to know.

Hypothetical, if KP stayed in Washington and was playing good ball, would he be someone you offered multiple firsts for?
I might do Williams for DFS, but I kind of think that gets you further away. I like DFS more, but he's closer to DJJ than he is to Williams, imo. I really think Williams is going to fit in better as we go forward.
NO to idea #2. In fact, I'd be willing to give up the 2nd round pick on an annual basis just to ensure Porzingis never becomes a Maverick again.
