That KP gets you more than Wiseman (unless Wiseman makes a meteoric jump from where he’s at).

The deal would be Wiseman (again if MBT believes in his talent and maybe they do maybe they don't), Oubre, Minney pick. Mavs would also gain cap space. The Minney pick could potentially become a third foundational player or be used in a trade.

I still think there could be a team like Washington that would give away the store for a chance at KP. If you sell high and are able to get enough talent back to not take a step back then I think it's worth considering.

Again...I really dont know.  Wiseman just seems like a long term project.  I get that he would be on a rookie deal(lottery) and I get that his measurable and quickness look good....but that feel for the game.  I think the kid can be really good...its just how long will it take and does he have the drive to mold himself into that player?

(03-11-2021, 12:12 PM)HanspardShowerVoice Wrote: I'm pretty bearish on Wiseman for this team.   I think the thing you're going to end up with on Wiseman is he is going to run through the end of his rookie contract and you're going to be forced to pay him his max before you're even sure what he is, and you end up paying a max for Kwame Brown.    Trading him for KP is just running around in circles as a franchise and wasting 2-3 years of Luka under contract, especially if your'e taking on trash like Oubre to make the salaries match .. who I've never understood the love for.   I can't tell you how much Mavs fans would grow to hate Oubre if he actually played for this team and they had to watch him every night.

Oubre is always dunking.  Is he an elite slasher?  Maybe Luka would love to have a guy like that...someone that slashes and that he could lob to.  I dont know.   Those first few games of the season...Oubre was the laughing stock of the league.  What was it...0-35 on threes or something?  His career 3P% is trash too.   But...is his defense great and is his possible lob threat ability something this team need needs/wants?  I dont know.

My issue, since this IS a playoff caliber team in the West, is if he can stay healthy throughout a full playoff run. These players that get injured right before the playoffs KILLS a team.

Overpay options include:
- Lonzo
- Collins
- Oladipo

Or some other interesting options like Fournier, Normal Powell. Nothing too exciting but probably an upgrade over the THJ/J Rich experience we have now.
