Getting OG and then a young guy to replace DFS, we don't have to worry too much about retooling until Wood's usefulness goes, and then it's just a starting C we need to find.
Well, that situation is what it is, regardless of who they target with this multi-pick trade that we all know is coming (surely, none among us believe the Mavs are suddenly going to adopt a conservative "collect assets" mindset).
So, if the guy you get is near 30, you get as good as you can until the recent extensions run out, making smaller, short term deals as you go, then you get to the point where it's just Luka and a few cheap guys on the roster and actually sign a big free agent. My hope is that by then players will be lining up to play with Luka.
If they're not, you're kind of toast at that point, but I don't think this one trade target being 2-3 years younger changes that.
