Yeah, but we don't want "Dieng" (Powell), we want Covington (Maxi). Dieng would not work for us.
The problem with both JB and JJ is, that I don't believe league thinks they have huge upside. You basically get what you see. Decent players with some room for improvement, but not really potential to become legit good starters as Covington is. If Mavs believed they have this potential, why would we trade their micro contracts.... 2nd round pick is still just a second round pick. It is not much worse than 1st rounder in the twenties, but it is still a longshot that you will get someting crazy good at that point.
Except that you're not talking about the same position with Dieng and Covington. Does Minny have a secondary wing they would trade in lieu of Covington?
BTW, Dallas apparently believes the '25 pick DOES move the needle as they have been very vocal about NOT moving it.
The guy I really want is Jae Crowder. I would love to flip Lee, Jackson, the GSW 2nd and a future 2nd (or the right to flip future 1st's) for Crowder and Iguodala.
