Mavs can't get Bamba though, because again, S&T isn't possible. I also doubt Orlando sell Isaac when his value is so low. But maybe the Magic decides to re-sign Bamba and sell WCJ instead of losing Bamba for nothing. WCJ was the guy the Mavs supposedly wanted that year if they couldn't get Luka (oof at imagining that Mavs team). Terrence Ross has also made it known he wants out of Orlando.
THJ, Green, and 26
for
WCJ and Ross
The Magic add shooting, veteran leadership, and an additional young defensive guy who could develop into a versatile 3&D wing. The Mavs get a starting C who would hopefully develop into the next Al Horford.
Why not Josh for Okeke straight up.
You are right, they won't sell this low on Isaac. They will see him return. They might could use a veteran shooter, but you can get those for less than $17mm. They don't need our pick. They have 1, 32 and 35. And, I don't see any reason why they'd move off of Carter. He seems a really nice fit next to Jabari Smith or Holmgren. I really like where this is headed for them with a build around Suggs, Wagner, Carter and #1.
To me, Okeke is the odd man out. He's like Josh in that he's a 3 point shot away from being pretty useful. But, he shows more confidence in his shot. He took quite a few and saw a bunch go in from about January on. For the full season, he hit .382 from the corner. Per 36, he's a 12/6 guy with 2 steals and a block. He also moves the ball well. Dallas probably needs a young backup PF more than it needs a young wing and the opposite is true for Orlando which is loaded with bigs and a little thin at the wing.
