Thought this was an interesting exercise, not because I want to trade him, but because I'm interested in just how much I value him.

Here are the "wings" I'd def trade Allen for:

Giannis
Luka
Tatum
Durant - If remotely healthy.
Kawhi - If remotely healthy.

Here are the ones I'd really have to think about, but probably would pull the trigger on:

Brown
Butler
George
Siakim

The toss up's that I'd likely turn down:

Middleton
Ingram
Bridges
Markkanan
Grant
Anonoby

He's in good company here for sure, and its all hypothetical, but if the right wing came around, you just can't say no.

An Allen-Markkanen trade off was basically what was presented to us in the Mitchell trade. Seeing Markkanen this year I’m not so sure I wouldn’t have chosen to keep Lauri. You definitely sacrifice some defense but the offensive and spacing gain would be considerable. The team might fit together better as a whole. And while not a great defender, Markkanen is above average as a mobile big (vs trying to play pure SF)
 
JA has been putting up 17 points on 71% FG% in the past seven games. If he could hit some of those floaters he's missing, he's probably closer to 20 points on 75% FG%.

He's currently leading the NBA in FG% with 9+ FGAs @ 64.3%. The next on that list is Jokic.

i take Jarret 10 out of 10 times over Lauri.. and that is totally colored by just being a fan of his, but it's peppered by how good defensively Allen actually is. Really smart player.
 
Funny how badly Markkanen has become overrated. He started out great, but the fall off has been notable.

Yeah, they need a better game plan for Allen and Mobley against Boston if we end up playing them in the playoffs. That was perhaps the most disappointing thing last night. Maybe they should put on like 10lbs of fat or something before the playoffs just to get some extra heft, ha.
 
I really don't get it. He was non-existent on the boards last night. You didn't feel his presence at all. Too many games like this from him this year. His effort level seems low lately
