I have a feeling that either Brown or Smart will be available this off season.

Give me both. Would be tempted to offer KP if I can get both in return.

I would do that - *if* we got the top two of their three draft picks this year and *if* we somehow could do the deal in such a way as to get them to take at least one of our bad contracts. And that's only because of KP's injury concerns. And those two caveats aren't happening when you have Ainge on the other end of the phone.

IF?

There are no ifs. That is an insane trade for the Mavs. Next summer you have a million elite centers available. At that point you take #18+#31 and send Powell down the road to San Antonio for LMA. Next summer you dump Wright.

That´s a pipedream. The options would be endless.

Brown 25
Smart 14
Luka 10
Kleber 9
Curry 8
DFS 4
Brunson 2

That´s 43M in capspace. Just get Giannis or split it all between Jarrett Allen (15), LMA (10) and DeRozan (18).

Luka/Brunson
Smart/Curry
Brown/DeRozan
DFS/Kleber
Allen/LMA

LOL that´s a bench that wins 42-45 games.

You must think KP is going to be crippled by '22 if you think that about that trade. That, or you have a hell-bent, psychotic non-appreciation of his game.
