Getting those 3 first rounders would make the deal for me. The Mavs gave up two for Porzingis, so AD should be worth 4 lol. I really don’t need Kevin Knox, so if I have to take him out for that last pick so be it. I like Dennis Smith Jr as a 6th man/scorer off the bench. He’s still young and improving. So we would be getting our All Star in Barrett, our potential All Star in Smith Jr, and 3 1sts since Smith Jr being an All Star is a reach. That’s why a combo of Robinson, Smith Jr, & Knox could be that All Star LOL.
Then I would try to sign De’Angelo Russell to a max deal hoping Kyrie signs in Brooklyn and they don’t match. If we were to get him and Barrett I’d be extremely happy.
C: Robinson, Okafor
PF: Zion
SF: Barrett, Knox
SG: Jrue, Moore
PG: Russell, Smith Jr
Its not the greatest deal for a top 5 player in the league. But I think RJ Barrett will be a star and would be the #1 pick in most drafts. Having 3 1sts in the 2021 draft could be huge considering how great that draft class looks right now. The 2023 pick would just be icing on the cake.
I still rather wait till free agency starts and do the deal with Brooklyn for DLo, LeVert, Allen, and either Kurucs or a future 1st if Brooklyn was down to make that move. We get our All Star in DLo, our potential All Star in LeVert, a young starting center, and hopefully a 1st. Don’t see why not since they would still have decent players to join AD, Kyrie, & Tobias Harris who I think they are targeting this offseason.
