RS 25/26 - Mavs vs Suns (Wed, 8:30 EST)

[Bob8]

Because of the CBA it is really difficult to trade at all. We would be probably lucky if we just get anything for AD, not talking about anything good.

I would listen to offers but if nothing is good for us just sit the whole season out and try it again next year. Not my favored option but probably better than just giving away AD and Kyrie.

And AD will agree to just sit the season out? What will change next season? Having old and injury prone players doesn't get better with years. Both Kyrie and AD have played 60+ games twice since 17/18 season.

Agree...AD's value will not go up.
Right now he has an injury that will keep him out a few games but my concern is him getting a season or career ending injury and then what will he be worth.

Salvage what you can now and just be thankful we got Flagg to build around. That should be our only focus right now and any effort of winning with Kyrie/AD/Klay should be aborted immediately.

And AD is a constant reminder of Nico. It would be to his and the team's best interests to separate at this point.

Another game i didn't expect them to lose. They have to go all in on Coop at this point, the schedule won't get any easier. They pretty much lost every "must win" game so far and they also played only 3 road games.

I don't see how they could right the ship even with AD, it's going to be insanely tough and there is a very high chance AD could get hurt again at some point.

This season is over already, which makes it perfect opportunity for a rebuild. Sooner you start sooner you will be able to compete again. Mavs not having their draft picks 27-30 makes decision even easier.

Btw. Suns 30th in strength of schedule, Mavs 28th.

Season never started, the big lineups narrative was totally crap.

But they are losing games over games so it's all right. We need a top pick.

I didn't see anything about the rebuild but maybe I didn't read well enough. All in on Coop can mean many things.

[MassimoPayne]

Ok, well let us give them a week to figure things out how they want to continue this season.
In the meanwhile? Not tanking but still losing every game

It's ok im joking. But i said i think 1000x now that the smartest thing to do would be to build around Coop and look for the future instead of forcing it with AD and Kyrie. Both players who may or may not even stay healthy for extended period of time. Makes no sense to force it.

My hesitancy with sitting AD is that he's clearly allergic to the weight room, unless a buffet could be consider a "weight" room lol. If he sits, he may eclipse the 300lbs threshold. I don't have the same issue with Kyrie.
