What value are we willing to include to be rid of Maxi? Draft Picks? Or, waiting until he's expiring after next season?

Looking like Klay Thompson and Lebron want to play together ...... with word circulating that Klay might sign for the MLE and Lebron taking a paycut to make a MLE signing possible

I'm ok with that, they are both washed... Maybe they want Kleber or Powell too

Bad start, Maxi isn't a center.
He is a power forward who scores one 3 points a game despite everybody in the world left him wide open. Wow.
Plus he is always injuried.

A lot of posters here act like he is Al Horford, he is not.

We need good players along Luka, not those scrubs.

Weird to try and get pedantic but still be wrong. Basketball is positionless so he’s literally both. Yeah he doesn’t score much, but he’s offering versatility.

No my friend i'm sorry but he is not a C... Kidd play him at the C. It's different. A lot different

Man , i can't believe you are trying to defend a 11M guy who averages 4+3 in 20mpg in RS and 3+2 in PO (plus always injuried).
He is a vet min player.

We played better and went to the NBA Finals without him... That's a fact.
He was a no factor for the Mavs PO run or probably a neutral/negative factor.
We need an upgrade over him, he is done.

We all know that this discussion will end just like the Powell one , that was very funny

Trolling and derailing are against realgm policies so stop trying to make every conversation I have about Powell. You’re inability to understand what I’ve always said about him is not my problem, I have never called him a good NBA center, just the best of terrible situations that are not his fault.

Maxi would get more than the minimum on the open market but he is overpaid at 11M.

I would love to upgrade his spot, but unless OMax breaks out its virtually impossible this year.

Mavs have to Look into trading Maxi and maybe replace him with someone like Jalen Smith

Dallas CAN do that, BUT it would cost DJJ because Jalen Smith is going to get the full MLE.

Which would not make since because POA defense is more important for Dallas then backup forward and small ball center.

Something tells me DJJ is gonna end up on the Lakers,Just a filling....according to rumors there's been little talk about his extension(and they were able to talk to him about it since the finals ended)...now I know Mavs needed to move THJ to give him the contract he desires but it doesn't Look like they talked about extension much since THJ was traded...we'll se soon I Guess...if Klay goes to Lakers he probably stays,if Mavs sign Klay he might be gone

[Archx]

It's going to be MLE or part of it. Maxi and Green+25/31 picks basically remain the only option for Mavs to upgrade.

That's good news if true,about DJJ

As for Green,Mavs should call CHA and see if they still want him...maybe he can fetch a pick

Maxi is not a true center but he is big enough and mobile enough to be able to switch on defense without the Mavs getting absolutely killed. Is he as good as he was 5 years ago? No, but he is a serviceable backup big. The Mavs could and should find an upgrade but that doesn’t mean Maxi is useless.

[Archx]

As for Green,Mavs should call CHA and see if they still want him...maybe he can fetch a pick

They have other plans with Green

What value are we willing to include to be rid of Maxi? Draft Picks? Or, waiting until he's expiring after next season?

Untradable right now, maybe with a FRP... Maybe next year as a expiring we will finally dump him. My lord.

There are teams that could use Maxi. The Knicks, Thunder, and Lakers could all use a big like Maxi off their bench.

The Knicks can't get him,they'll even lose Hartenstein....they'll need to find some cheaper alternativa...Lakers,I'd trade him for Vando..thunder,I doubt want him... they're interested in Hartenstein

Maxi would get 15 minutes a night at least on well over half the playoff teams in the league.

The people on this board have 0 understanding of player values and let their personal feelings get in the way.

Than it really should't be that hard to trade him

[Mavrelous]

Stein ia basically saying Green + ( pick?) for Klay is a done deal...

[tleikheen]

I don't want 30 million dollar players that are over 30 yrs old .I want young up and coming players that are Luka's age . It seems like everyone has already forgotten the Mavs just came from the NBA Finals after making 2 big moves at the trade deadline in acquiring two 25 yr old players.
All these high dollar players want the ball and Luka isn't giving it up.

Center is already the Mavs 3rd best Player in Gafford and Lively
PJ ,DJJ (likely resigned),OMax( moving into the rotation) , adding UFA 24 y o Jalen Smith 6'9" (59/42/69) shooting as the forwards

Luka/Kyrie /Dante/ Josh Green (Grimes) as the guard rotation

Leaving Jaden Hardy (maybe Green) as the sweetener in any trades to move Maxi/Powell for 6'9",28 y o Kyle Kuzma ?????

[BliscoSantos]

Warriors shopping Paul and Wiggins...that package Nets them Lavine and a CHI first maybe...could they add some picks and maybe get Ingram??

But like everyone else ,Im bracing for Green going to Golden State for Klay Thompson ,who turns 35 y o before the next playoffs ......... This feels like 1ft forward (25 y o in PJ and Gaff) to 2 step backwards with Klay closing in on 35 y o.
Why are the Mavs always looking for players NOT in Luka's timeline as a player ?

Never trust anything when Lebron is in the background doing his GM stuff. But yeah... apparently Nico is going all in on Klay.
