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.
I agree, but he's going to have plenty of suitors. Been hearing Detroit is going to make a run for him, since they'll be one of the teams with the most cap space.
