Dallas Mavericks 2024 Trade thread -- Roster and Cap post 24 FA

[wco81]

Cuban said that one reason he sold is so that his kids wouldn't inherit the team and be faced with dilemmas like trading Luka.

He said the Mavs should have gotten 4 unprotected FRPs in addition to AD and Christie.

He said he found out about the trade 5 minutes before Shams broke it.

Well now he's just another fan -- though he still has some ownership interest in the team. He sold his ability to make decisions or even provide input for billions.

To be fair, for a billion dollars, I'd sell anything I own too.

Cuban is a business man first. With the declining TV ratings and the current value of the Mavs he took the billions. He's quitting Shark Tank this year so, he must have a new project that is going to take most of his time. Maybe a run for the white house?

[wco81]

Maybe his kids, who must be adults in their 30s or older, had little interest in the team so he decided to take the money when he could.

[Astaluego]

What do you think of Pritchard as a substitute for KI? Or someone like DDR who can keep the team afloat until Irving returns?

[41Dirk41]

Dallas needs a floor general.

Dallas needs a floor general.

For next season, I'd like Dallas to trade Klay + Hardy for Collin Sexton.

Sexton and Kyrie is very similar to Garland and Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland, and that works.

[arkuo]

Dallas can be built like Cleveland with Collin Sexton.

Cleveland
C- Allen
PF- Mobley
SF- Hunter
SG- Mitchell
PG- Garland

Dallas
C- Lively
PF- Davis
SF- Washington
SG- Irving
PG- Sexton

We'll see how they do in the playoffs... I'm interested in DDR, I think he wouldn't be expensive, he's still an elite scorer, he can create plays and we have the defense to cover him.

I don't think that becoming poor's Cleveland team would be a good but here we are. No future for this team.

Love Sexton and Kyrie, hate them together int he backxourt.
Been watching lots of Lakers since the trade, Reaves can fill for Kyrie better than Sexton if Mavs can get him.

Reaves for Klay. Make it happen!

Not gonna happen unless Lively is involved. Reaves is on a friendly contract and producing numbers. They expect him to form a big 3 with LBJ and Luka.

[41Dirk41]

They should have traded Luka to Sacramento and take back Fox, Sabonis and picks.

It's hard to find a good playmaker. Very hard.

Adding Lively makes the price too high. Lonzo Ball perhaps?

Hard to say. Depends what Nico wants and that's very hard to predict these days. But getting a good playmaker next to Kyrie should be their primary goal now. But also keep in mind, Suns are trying to get one for years and they failed over and over again. It's not easy to get one without also giving something up.

I would assume Klay would want to stay if Kyrie stays next to AD.

On the other hand, some of us have been advocating for BWill since the start of the season. By pure luck Kidd stumbled over his own feet and is now forced to give him more minutes. So, developing him for the future might not be such a bad idea. He's showing a ton of talent right now.

[Teffer10]

At this point I say we dont make any huge moves.
IF healthy, this team is as good as anyone.

Just draft BPA for the future, sign Williams as Kyrie backup and hope like hell we stay healthy.
Maybe move OMax and Hardy for some veteran depth but that is about all I would do. I'd e en be ok bringing back Spence on a min deal.

Kyrie/Williams/Dinwiddie
Klay/Christie/Hardy
PJ/Naji/OMax
AD/Edwards/Draft Pick?
Lively/Gaff/Powell

Mavs don't have Kyrie next year. They need to trade Gafford, they can't pay him in 26 and you can't have that much money placed in bigs anyway.

Mavs will have big problems from 26 season on. They will need to pay big money to Kyrie and AD, PJ and Gafford showed enough to get more too. Lively won't play on rookie contract for ever either. If Naji continues to play good...

With all the money that Adelson has in her vault, it would cost her pennies to bring in a team of doctors from Johns Hopkins to be medical staff for the team. This is an easy fix. I wonder why the current staff is still employed. We've seen coaches get fired for way less in this league.

That's why they raised the ticket prices, so they could afford all medical bills.
