Dallas Mavericks 2025 Trade thread -- Roster and Cap

[Jg41]

Dyson Daniels isnt worth an unprotected pick and does nothing for our spacing concerns as he cant shoot a lick

He’s 22 and his shooting has and will continue to improve. He’s transcendent on defense (averaged 3 steals a game) and is an ideal fit with Kyrie now in the backcourt, and can fit with any other ball dominant guard down the road.

I’m not saying it’s a perfect deal, but Desmond Bane was just had for 4 unprotected firsts…so your pick/talent evaluation needs to be modulated a bit. This is one of the best ways for us to straddle immediate contention w/long term outlook

[Maverick41]

Never going to happen, but to no one's surprise, I want AD gone. Remember how I felt about Porzingis and Josh Green? Multiple that by 650,000, and that is how I feel about AD

AD/Hardy to Cleveland
Mobley/Okoro/Strus/2025 2nd/2031 FRP to Mavs

Wait you hate AD more then Josh Green?

Would be ecstatic for this trade but I think Mobley is likely untouchable in CLE. If one of their stars is gonna go, it's likely Allen or Garland.

[Maverick41]

If MIA strikes out on KD and wants to go for it in the East.

DAL receives: K. Ware + Jovic + Rozier + Wiggins + #20 + 26 MIA FRP + 29 MIA FRP + 31 MIA FRP
MIA receives: AD + Martin

Money matches perfectly.

DAL cashes in on AD with a rebuilding package that can still compete. Ware showed a lot of flashes in his rookie year. Jovic is improving and has high level role player potential. Rozier is there for money matching purposes but he can be a good fill in guard with Kyrie out if he stops gambling and takes his job seriously. Wiggins is paid a lot but he's a solid starting wing.

MIA finally gets a star after star hunting for a while. They also get a familiar face in Martin who played really well there. A trio of AD/Bam/Herro and solid role players in Jaquez, Martin, Highsmith, Robinson, Slo-Mo, etc. along with an elite coach can be very good.

No way CLE will give up Mobley + future first for AD

MIA wont give up 4 future first + Ware + Wiggins for AD. That is way too much assets to give up.

Heat can't trade their 26 or 29, so it'd be Ware, Jovic, Rozier, Wiggins, #20 and 2030 1st for AD, I'd still pull the trigger, though a follow up trade to unload Ware or Gafford must follow.

Derrick White for Daniel Gafford and Max Christie

I'd do this.

I wouldn't.

BOS won't

Imho Hornets have to be involved in any AD-to-MIA trade in order to facilitate the deal.

CHA: unprotected 2026 MIA 1st, Ware.

DAL: #20, 2027 DAL 1st, unprotected 2028/2030/2032 MIA 1sts, Wiggins, Rozier, Jovic.

MIA: Davis, Martin, 2027 MIA 1st.

Miami makes a lot of sense if they don't get KD, but honestly they aren't my favorite landing spot for AD cause historically they've rarely ended up in the high end of the lottery.
Sacramento and Chicago are my dream trade partners, both their FO are delusional enough to beat the aforementioned offer and I'd love to snag their future unprotected 1sts.

I'm not sure CHA does this, but maybe, depends on how they value Ware, Miami also may bulk at 3 unprotected 1st + Ware, I'm not sure what AD value really is.

[ACMFFL]

Imo value is fair, maybe drop the most distant 1st for an unpr swap, AD is still a top15 player in this league.

I want to deal Davis asap but it's not a good reason to trade him just for the sake of change.
Part of me is intrigued by the idea of ​​having Flagg play on a competitive and winning team, I'd rather keep AD if offers aren't enticing.

Charlotte part is the trickiest, but if they don't do it, then the whole deal collapses cause Mavs need their 2027 1st back in order to tank (one year gap isn't enough unless we win the lottery again, and even then still not a lock to be competitive) and Miami alone hasn't enough assets to acquire someone like AD.

Hi guys, I just did something Anthony Davis has never done since he entered the league in 2012. I went to work 8 days without taking off
