„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?
Yes, I would certainly do it, if the deal would be done as an extend and trade and if the matching salary is THJ+Holmes (or Maxi). It might not be enough this season, because Lively is still learning, but I would certainly be far more comfortable about this team than what we have now. Mavs are one serious piece away and I think that final piece will be expensive in any case. Cost is not the factor, fit is. Siakam might not be a perfect fit offensively, but he certainly rises our ceiling significantly. And he already has a ring! Meaning, you can win with him as your starter.
