In my ideal scenario, Mavs trade Bertans, Bullock and McGee contracts for Siakam. Resign Powell and Wood. The team would be:
Luka, SD
THJ, Hardy (very limited minutes)
DFS, Green
Siakam, Maxi
Powell, Wood
I don't think you'll get any argument that Siakam or Anunoby or Brown would look really good here. But those moves are about two levels up from any discussion of Turner or Poeltl. That's at least 3 future unprotected firsts and probably Green or Hardy or both.
The more interesting question isn't the names, it is the philosophy of approach. There are enough tools to make some improvements that would be pretty helpful right now. But, they aren't the Sammy Superstar move. Do you make those improvements now or do you hold onto your assets in hopes you can make the next AD trade. Neither approach is perfect and both have their issues.
I think it is faulty logic to say that because McGee failed all centers are doomed to the same fate. Kind of ironic that last night Poeltl's FT shooting (the biggest hole in his game) would have been additive to our percentage for the game
