Also sometimes the best move is not the obvious big ticket move. Teams who are desperate and make a desperate trade typically don’t work. When Dallas makes that big move, it needs to work.
I am not sure if this is possible as a whole or even each move is possible, but would you be ok with these moves? Let’s say it takes Josh Green, maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell and two future picks plus a pick swap. Let’s say in this hypothetical, Dallas keeps this years first.
They acquire EJ Liddell, Nic Batam and Myles Turner. Is that team ready to compete? Could it compete for the next 4 years? Would it be better to wait for another move?
Every summer we expect a big move and it never happens. Maybe it will happen this year but I am skeptical. The KP trade was a very big move and looked like a straight dump at the time. I am delighted it worked out so well. As far as my expectations for the summer I am looking at what most teams do after they get to the semis, which is try to upgrade rotation spots (ie plug holes) rather than making a big swing.
