In an alternate universe

[Nowitzki Way]

Or we could be talking about a young core of DSJ, WCJ, and Zion.  Because without Luka, maybe we don't pull off the Porzingis trade. Meaning we keep our Tank Commander Wesley Matthews. We end up with the #1 pick and grab Zion.

In the off season: Matthews, Dirk, Deandre all expiring. Barnes opted out. We don't extend Powell... What do we do with all that free agency money? Maybe they pursue Kemba harder. Does Kyrie/ Durant look our way? ...What about Leonard if we can pull off the Paul George trade? Jimmy Butler, Tobias Harris, Vucevic? All in play.. Since we're talking alternate universe i'm going with this.

Kyrie Irving
DSJ
Durant
Zion
Wendell Carter JR.

or

Kemba
DSJ
Jimmy Butler
Zion
WCJ
