I am not sure that team has enough shooting and you would really need to rebuild/develop your bench moving forward but it would be interesting.
The thing I really like about a Luka/Simmons/DFS/KP core is how versatile it would be in terms of ballhandling, scoring, and defense. I agree that it would need more shooting, but the cool thing is that you could mix in a shooter at literally any position and I think it would work. The foundation is that strong.
I also agree that something like Brunson/THJ/Maxi doesn't have the star power that Morey wants. But the way Brunson has developed, I think it would compete with most non-Lillard or Beal offers we're seen thrown out there. If nobody is trading a star, the next step is to just get the most talent possible. And that offer ain't too bad in terms of players that can help them win right now.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what happens when teams get serious at the deadline. I have a tough time seeing Morey letting it go beyond that, so it may just come down to who has the best offer ready at the right time.
