Portland could only do this with Simons+Nurkic salaries going to Washington. Unless we are speaking about some complicated SnT after the draft or some complicated three or more team deal with those guys going somewhere else and some more assets going to Portland. Washington would for sure laugh at Mavs for forever, if they turned KP into Simons, Nurkic and trade up to #3.

Ultimately, the KP trade (first one) might end up the worst move in Mavs history. Will depend on how Luka future within next few years.
We accelerated the building process and from there it was just retooling.
That said, 90% of draft trade rumours are just bs. Teams don't do much
