A couple of thoughts on this Siakam-Dallas rumors.
I like it a lot that Mavs are mentioned as a serious candidate. It could indicate that they are viewed around the league as a team that is "one piece away". So, even if Siakam thing isn't serious or doesn't happen, someone else good might be convinced to go to Dallas. Mavs were mostly mentioned as having interest with any player that could become available in the past, but no one has taken them seriously. Could this have changed?
Mavs previous moves came pretty much unexpected, out of the blue, which is the opposite of all the talk around Siakam. There were some rumblings last season that Mavs might be interested in Irving (when he demanded the trade early in the season), but Stein repeatedly said Mavs are not interested. I don't think anyone expected Mavs trading for Kyrie at TDL. Stein is again the one that is cooling down the supposed Mavs interest. Interest in GW and Thybulle was correctly "announced" by media in the summer.
THJ, GW and Green probably don't have some high ceiling (perhaps Green), but can be useful rotation players for a team like Toronto. I would like for Mavs to get a bit more back from Toronto, Bucher (we can also send Holmes) or perhaps McDaniels could be useful rotation players.
