If nothing else Euro players want to play with Luka, and there are much more of them now than when Dirk played.

Thad Young
Al Farouq Aminu (salary ballast)
2025 First-round pick
Two second-round picks
That's a pretty solid get for a player walking away.
For us, that would have probably been:
Kleber + Powell + Green
2025 first-round pick
two second-round picks
Totally possible for us if we wanted, but it's not a move a lame-duck GM does on their way out and not a move a new GM does in their first week. It also sounds like LAL and CHI were both front in line so the only way to jump them would be to throw in even more value and the only other value we could really give is 2027 FRP. That would take our trade assets from empty to running on fumes.
