Kat and a first pick might have done it. They get an allstar/all NBA PF to play instread of AD.
Knicks get a marquee star player. Its intriguing and I Suppose there would be other moves made in need for a center as well. I love mitch but his injury history makes it tough to think him anchoring the defense and any contention rides on him being in place. A back up would need to be acquired.
I assume Luka resigns with Knicks.
Do we talk about Luka's defense? Is Nico Harrison a complete dumb ass or is there any concerns about his training and body as he leaves his early 20's and starts making his way to 30 that are legit? Lakers will Lose Lebron soon and need that star attraction at the gate. Knicks have departed from the starphuch some time ago.

Article suggests using Josh and Mikal instead with the pick. I think Dallas wanted a star player in return and a PF as at the moment the trade was done that team was on paper healthy was a good concept even for this season. Dallas made Finals last year and had been playing well without Luka. Its Empire Sports so take it with a grain of salt as they put out all kinds of crap like this. We can still have fun with it as a topic.

Present day Luka vs. Present day Towns? With Luka the roster would potent but would need a rebalance
We'd still be a trade "cycle" or two away as we might be currently.

Curious if knicks were really given an opportunity and what the internal discussion would have been. Nalod would value Brunsons opinion and if he shared Mavs concerns over Luka's future health. If we playing pretend GM, my opinion is incomplete.

We know they approached Wolves about Ant. Did they with other teams?
"Talks" are different than "Approached". I don't think we get all the info all the time?
