When you see that the Mavs are not sending out a single asset but somehow getting 2 FRP, you should probably realize that you are looking at a one sided deal. The Nets are not going to send out a first to get off Simmons and the Lakers are clearly not giving up a first to get off Russ.
Also, any plan to tank with Luka Doncic on the team is completely failed from the start. On top of that, I can't think of a better way to chase Luka from here than to trade away the entire team for two disasters and a couple of magic beans, tell him to lose for the rest of the year, and then depend on this FO to make hay in free agency.

No, he has one more year after that, but we could wait another season if necessary to make that big trade.
