Trade & FA 2023-24: Lavine Market Barely There| NOP Want Trae or Murray

I think this is asking A LOT of Luka/Kyrie. They need another great ball handler to reliev the pressure on them. A 6th man like McCollum/Herro/Brogdon type player. IMO that's #2 priority in the offseason (#1 being re-signing DJJ).

I'm wondering where the assets to get such expensive players (both in terms of trade price and contract) are coming from. Certainly not from anything the Mavs have available to trade. The teams possessing such players most certainly aren't getting Luka, Kyrie, PJ, or Lively back (our goal isn't to make our team worse or more ill-fitting), and the rest of what we have to offer won't get you McCollum, Herro, Brogdon, or comparable players.
