Pacers gave up a first round pick and two seconds plus a 20 mil/yr contract in that S&T deal. Mavs have Brunson plus a few young players and I think Maxi could fetch a pick. At any rate I do expect Mavs to try to make a Collins deal happen. I bet this is their plan A.
I hope this is their plan A, it would definitely be mine. A 23 year old budding star? Got to take your shot IMO.
Once the draft passes and the Knicks get the 2021 pick, don't the Mavs then acquire the ability to trade a pick again pretty easy?
I am also 100% with you that getting JC puts the Mavs in a MUCH better asset situation moving forward. I think Luka and maturity will make JC of this summer nothing compared to what he would be worth in another summer or two.
