Right but if it doesn't work, you've essentially handicapped Luka's next contract. I don't think the Mavs are anywhere close to needing to be that desperate.
Do they need upgrades? Sure. But trading for Simmons would only make sense if this was Luka's last year of his rookie max and we haven't won anything. Then I can see the reasoning behind going all in in the hopes it works.
Now? I think the Mavs are 1 starting center and 1 reliable scorer away from being legit contenders. If we want to make a crazy trade the guy I'd prefer is Ayton, especially if PHX doesn't want to max him.
