And RoCo is far from a "3rd Star" calliber player at this point in his career, which is why the Blazers just had to trade for Powell to bring in more scoring that RoCo can't provide.
So, no, I don't think the Mavs had the capital for a "3rd Star" caliber trade for the #18 pick and 2nds.
The bottomline is there are ramifications for big trade packages for Luka and KP .. mainly, it's almost impossible to build future big trade packages. Just because the shine has worn off those trades and we want new shiny toys to play with doesn't mean the organizatonal cost just evaporated.
Aaron Gordon?
