Dallas Mavericks 2025 Trade thread -- Roster and Cap and the 1st page

[Archx]

My opinion doesn't matter because it's reality. I wish I was 6'8" and didn't dribble the ball with both hands lol

It is what it is. Can we put it past us? Again, water is wet. I dislike Nico as much as anyone, but I accept facts, reality.

Obviously reality is reality but this is a basketball forum where we theorize and talk about anything. We know what the facts are and we know what reality is, but do you want us to close down the forum and do what then, talk about nothing?

I'm not into wallowing. If you want to discuss AD et al. what is your solution? Who would you trade for?

...that is something to discuss, not lamenting constantly

I already presented my solution, read it. Also, you should consider yourself lucky that you weren't around in previous years during the "Josh Green phase", Powell at the main center in playoffs, WCS as a starter, "Fat Luka", etc...

Like i said, this is a forum, people will say whatever they want.

OMax with 11/6/5 with Memphis today

OMax with 11/6/5 with Memphis today

I still don't think he will turn in something good ( i can be wrong here obviously) but waived and stretch a young guy to sign a dead body PG because your TDL trade was a disaster and you are desperated is one of the dumbest move in history.

Harrison needs to go.

OMax has a body built for modern forward in the NBA but he has 0 feel for the game.

Agreed. OMax passes the eye test until he steps on the court and becomes a baby giraffe on ice skates.

I wish JDub was playing tonight. I really want to see how the Rockets will do against the best.

Here's a panic trade that won't happen with Nico on but hey it's fun:

DAL receives: Rozier + N. Powell + Ware + 26 MIA FRP + 28 MIA FRP
MIA receives: AD + Hardy + B-Will

DAL cuts Rozier or hopes the FBI arrest voids his contract. Powell becomes an explosive backcourt scorer for the team who's expiring. Ware is very talented and can play the 4 or 5 since he can shoot a bit. The 2 FRPs gives us more of a chest for a future trade or just to build around Flagg.

MIA takes advantage of Rozier's large expiring now and scores with possibly building a contender in the east with AD. A lineup of Mitchell/Herro/Wiggins/AD/Bam can be really good especially on D. Arguably Spo's best team since the Heatles.

Ya, when I saw the news yesterday, I thought MIA may be the best trading partner. If Rozier's contract is voided, they have $40m in cap space. I can see them upgrading the roster in season; I actually think they'll be under the min.

@mavericksdigest
Two sources close to me have confirmed, that after tonight's loss to the Washington Wizards, Jason Kidd was overhead talking to his wife, and allegedly said, "I don't know if i can deal with it anymore here." The context of the quote is unclear, but Jason Kidd WAS late to his post game interview with media, due to an alleged 'team meeting.' At this time, what was said at the meeting is unclear.

It's time to know how happened last year and what there is really behind that trade.

If it was collusion it's time to speak. Come on.

[Mr B]

Just curious but for those of you who have been wanting a change what exact trades would you make and who would you target in a trade?

Go the OKC route. Sell high on star veterans, get back as many picks as you can and maybe a promising youngster or two. Then fully focus on building around Flagg/Lively... even PJ is still young. That's already a nice core. Then you have Christie who showed some promise but it's quite mid now with all the wings that Mavs suddenly have.

But it's hard to figure out which player or pick you can go after because usually market dictates the price, so we don't exactly know who or what to target. Those who get paid millions in the front office should know that.

Unfortunately until Nico is in the office, Mavs will be running head first through a thick wall. I think they'll do anything to survive until Kyrie comes back.

I still think it’s too early to make a move but clearly something will have to be done if things continue the way they have.

I think they would still want to stay in contention if possible or at very least be a team on the rise. I would definitely move AD and Kyrie. Target a youngish PG (think Maxey, Cade, or one of the young Spurs PG’s). Then build around that PG, Flagg, and Lively.

Aim lower than Maxey or Cade.
Something like Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey and Ron Holland for AD.

[41Dirk41]

Hahahahahahaha Maxey or Cade for street clothes hahahahahahaha

Sure Mr B. They will accept it for sure.

That’s right make no effort to have a constructive conversation.

If you don’t think AD would be enough what would they have to include? Don’t be the reason the 3 or 4 people that are left posting here leave. Add to the conversation. I specifically asked what would you do? Would you target a PG? Gaining AD isn’t enough for Cade or Maxey what else would you include? Would you even target those PG’s? If not them then who?

Look my friend, your questions have no sense...simply we don't have enough assets for Cade or Maxey unless our foolish GM puts Flagg on the table.

This roster is not fixable like i said for months while you wrote nonsense posts. As always.

He's right, let's have constructive discussions.
I agree AD doesn't return Cade, probabely not Maxey either.

Yeah,AD wont get you Cade...he might get you Maxey(since they have Edgecomb) ,but the Mavs would have to give Sixers at least two firsts...otherwise you'll be getting PG or Embiid+Jared McCain+2 first rounders..more realistic trade partner could be the Hornets(Lamelo) or CLE( Garland)...but CLE is over the second apron ,so more teams would have to be involved

Right now the Best thing DAL can do is keep the team till Kyrie gets back and try to find their game...AD is still a good Player,it Just sucks he came so out of shape (I Know,ironic,isn't it)...but that's Karma Nico

What worries me is that the Players looked as if they're on the verge of tears this two games....the vibes don't seem to be as good as they made it out to be
