Isn't a big part of the reason Markkanen wants out that he doesn't want to come off the bench?
Should the Mavs trade a first round pick and/or one or more young players for a bench guy? And pay him in excess of $12M per?
Sorry, don't mean to be obtuse, but I'm just not getting this. Maybe you are suggesting that Chicago and LM would come down to a reasonable price for a bench player?
This is exactly where I am at. He is a talented player who has not improved much in 4 years and has been pushed to the bench on a not very good Chicago team. Due to his talent and youth, it make sense to bring him in on a reasonable contract for limited assets, but I really don't see him coming in and starting right away.
