It's funny how the other teams target Mavs coaching staff instead of OKC or IND's. Those are proven winners with insiders information, right?

Are the Mavs interested in Andrew Wiggins? Miami only asks for Rui, Knecht and a 1st . Knecht is playing like trash in SL Miami is actually not looking for too much. Wiggins is stronger defender compared to PJ and can guard quicker players.

Klay PJ, Martin and 2nd for Wiggins and Anderson may have beaten LAL's offer.

If PJ doesn't want to re-sign, then throw in a 1st for a 2nd. I think it's done. Miami lacks quality 4 and the Mavs need a quality 2 and an extra roster spot. Wiggins can guard 1-4 and could average 20ppg. This is a reliable playoff piece.

PJ > Wiggins, if he's not taking the extention, I'd trade him for Wiggins, but no picks attached.

I'd rather trade PJ and Gaff for younger players and draft picks.

He’s not the offensive player that PJ is though, especially in the paint.

Wiggins averages 19 ppg last season on decent shooting number. As for scoring in paint, I think the Mavs has abundance talent on that regard. Being able to keep the likes of Luka honest is more important.

The Wiggins I'd want is Aaron. If Dallas could do a 3 way where they somehow turn Gaff into Wiggins, they should

He averaged that as a #1 or #2 option. That wouldn’t be his role in Dallas. He’d be the 3rd or 4th option on offense. He wouldn’t get anywhere near 19 ppg. Give me PJ all day over Wiggins.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Lebron plays one last season next year and signs with Dallas for the minimum for a farewell tour since Nico signed all his friends and coaches. I want no part of that LBJ farewell tour though.

Labron or Bradley Beal for the vet min if you have a choice?

The Mavs has 21 players on roster now. It couldn't happen without a trade.

Dwight Powell to Indiana for a late 2nd?

Are you sure the Mavs is not trading a 2nd instead of receiving a 2nd? Let's not act like Powell could play Myles Turner's role.

Aaron Wiggins isn't even all that great against Indiana Pacers in Finals. But Andrew Wiggins is exceptional great against Luka. I know Wiggins is 30. But still, I don't think Aaron Wiggins can get anywhere close to Andrew Wiggins' level on both end of the floor at 30 YO.

Lebron.. The Mavs need playmaker in a bad way.

Darren · Post #1618 » by **Darren** » Mon Jul 7, 2025 9:53 am

Mathurin, J.Walker for Martin, Powell, OMax and a 1st? Is it reasonable trade.

Beal comes in with more shooting. LBJ comes in with more playmaking. But if the cost is the same I'd probably go with the lesser risk and take Beal. Beal is easier to cut if he's of no use. Lebron you're getting Klutch guys, Rich Paul, Bronny and that whole travelling circus of his. And since it's his farewell tour, he'd expect a final standing ovation in every arena the Mavs play in for next year. And I don't want to be part of that.

And the salary shows that. Aaron is still a solid all around player, better than 2025 Klay, Christie, Martin, and leaps and bounds better than Hardy.
