    I think that’s a no from me.
    Too much potential in those two, who have both showed flashes of superstardom

    Sengun for sure

    I’d have tried to hold onto Amen

    If it’s just one plus Luka for picks, that’s a different story.
    Amen and picks, probably.
    Alp and picks, probably.

    With picks, probably not.

    When something like this happens, I think Dallas is really worried about Luka's health, motivation for fitness. I'd want Luka for Amen and Sengun as long as Dallas doesn't want to trade Luka.

    For Lakers, AD and a pick is a no brainer.

    Maybe. That’s more in line with what the Mavs should have wanted. Although I understand that AD can be viewed as a more “win now” player.

    In a heartbeat

    Generational one man defense beaters are impossibly valuable, particularly in the playoffs where the game is more focused and effort level more consistent. Great team basketball sounds nice and romantic, but it's not the actual way to win a chip. You can cobble together the supporting pieces.

    Amen would give me more hesitation because I think he is one jump shot away from possibly being at that level. Frankly I can say something similar about Alpi, but i think he has some fairly glaring physical limitations that put a lower ceiling on him.

    I'd do Amen or Sengun for Luka straight up. But not Jalen.

    No. I don’t want lazy ass players no matter their skill set. I want dogs.

    Huh?
    I get it, you love Jalen, but he doesn’t have the value of Amen or Alp.
    Mavs would laugh at that.

    This is my stand. It's not popular but I'll stand behind it.

    To be fair, we don’t know they’d laugh at that — they just traded him for a brittle 31-yr-old and only 1 pick

    Also true.
    Shoulda said “should” laugh at that.
    If it was Green for Luka, Rockets woulda thrown in picks
