I agree with everything you said above. For all of those reasons John Collins would be an ideal fit here. If not him I think the obvious answer is Markkanen. He’s also a restricted free agent this year and will likely cost less than Collins. He’ll probably also be a little easier to get. Another name that stands out to me is Zach Collins from Portland. Right off the bat his injury history concerns me especially when we’ve already got Porzingis. But when healthy he seems like a younger version of Maxi with more upside. So those would be the three dudes I’d be looking at the trade deadline or this off-season.

I'm not saying don't do it, but I hate the 3 day waiting time for RFAs. The bidding team basically goes on hold while waiting on the current team to decide whether or not to match. DAL doesn't play that game well and usually ends up with table scraps as a result.


My impression is that any positive changes over the last 10-15 years have come through trades and the occasional draft success.
