I was listening to an earlier Zach Lowe podcast and they were talking about Siakam to Indy and whether it was a good trade or not. Lowe said Indy is not a FA destination. They don't get involved in the star FA route. He also said waiting also has its challenges because if that player is too good then you have all the pick hoarding teams who can outbid Indy's best offer.
It made me think of the Mavs. Right now, Mavs don't have great assets to offer. This summer they should have 3 first round picks. But if there is a player that OKC, Houston, Utah also want they can likely outbid us. So there is a fine line of targeting a good player who fits us well vs a player who is really valuable that the pick hoarding teams also want. It could lead us missing out if pick the wrong horse.
