Don't get me wrong...I would LOVE that lineup....but pulling that off?

I think the Collins part would actually be most difficult, because Atlanta has full control here.

Holmes is an UFA, so if he wants to play in Dallas we have the threat to just sign him outright. Then it becomes a question of whether the Kings want to trade Hield for Porzingis. Let´s be honest the Kings aren´t exactly free agency destination numero uno. They don´t have any major capspace to make a play for somebody like Collins either.

Lavine also has significant leverage with the Bulls, since his contract is expiring. If Harden can force his way onto the Nets in what ultimately became a complex four-way trade, I´m sure we can find a way to acquire Lavine in a three way with the Kings or Hornets.

The biggest obstacle is simply to convince the players (Holmes, Lavine) that they want to play for Dallas only.

If we don´t believe the MBT can successfully recruit Lavine and Holmes away from the lowly Bulls and Kings, then we might as well give up already and call it Goldfish Tank.
