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.
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.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)
I mean they got derozan as an all star lmaoooFunny how badly Markkanen has become overrated. He started out great, but the fall off has been notable.
This nerd is playing with his Squirtle too much.
