You mean if Dallas can't stop the MVP? A player nobody can stop? That Rudy Gobert can't stop?
You think Allen is some Jokic stopper? And you think Dallas having zero forwards stops being an issue lol?
No. I get why you want this trade for Cleveland. Washington's addition solves more problems for the Cavs than the downgrade from Allen to Lively creates. But you have to understand the reverse is true for Dallas. And Jokic being an unstoppable force doesn't change that. At all.
It's a single game sample size, but the last time those two squared off, Allen frustrated him enough to get Joker tossed from the game.
The Mavs still say no. Building a roster around conference finals, or league finals matchups, is a last resort after you've been a bride's maid a couple times.
And lively been completly owning wemby so... Lively just too good feet which just fits mavs defense amazingly
