At this point I think we should be vying for guys that can grow into something that we can't actually afford to trade for right now. Hence why I'm lusting after Duren.
Of the guys on your list, we need someone who can defend, rebound, and block shots. Pretty much every single one of them can do that. Some better than others, all better than whatever we have on the Mavs right now. For most centers this is the bare minimum, yet the Mavs FO (read Cuban) has a mental block of ever prioritizing such talents.
Jarret Allen really piques my interest. He definitely got outplayed by Mitchell Robinson this series, but that shouldn't take away the last 2 monstrous seasons he's had. Just last year he was a first time all-star.
Perfect buy low candidate. I just don't see who Cleveland would realistically want from the Mavs.
