We would get a glimpse of what it’s like to actually play big. There would be a drop in offense. But how much? And would it be worth it net rating for the added defense, length and rebounding. If it works we could double down on adding size in the offseason with all our assets still available. It would be a low risk safe move
Siakam is worth it at the right price point. And if we’re ready to lock into that big 3 then let’s do it. We wouldn’t be totally all in and could still pivot before Luka’s extension. But, it’s possible in a new CBA landscape that the 3 star method is not the way to go and that 2 stars and a ton of elite depth is better with Luka
I think Isaac is far worse player than THJ, but I agree he fits to Dallas better positionally and final result could even be better than with THJ. The trade would screw up Orlando cap space for next season - I am not sure what their summer plans are.
I would be for the trade if Orlando attaches a protected FRP and of course nothing good (like Siakam) is on the table at TDL. It would give Mavs much more flexibility for the summer.
