This is based on.
The Mavericks deciding to keep Cooper Flagg instead of going after Giannis.
It's clear the big men position is very overcrowded and multiple guys are going need to be moved.
Mavericks/Pistons/Heat
Mavericks Out: Anthony Davis
Mavericks in: Jaden Ivery,Ron Hollard, Duncan Robinson,Pistons 2027,2029,and 2031 1st round picks with the option to swap picks in 2030, multiple 2nd round picks from the Heat.
Pistons out: Tobias Harris, Ron Hollard, Jaden Ivery, Pistons 2027,2029 and 2031 1st round pick, 2030 pick swap option
Pistons in: Anthony Davis
Heat out: Duncan Robinson, multiple 2nd round picks
Heat in: Tobias Harris
Why the Mavericks do? They focus their attention on building around Cooper Flagg. They get multiple 1st round picks and young players with upside back for trading Anthony Davis.
Why the Pistons do this? With the East looking wide open and weak as it does right with the events that have happened, the Pistons advantage of that, by going all on Anthony Davis to help them take the next level towards being a Championship contender.They also keep Jalen Duren in this deal, so ether get a lot of AD at the power Forward position or they could flip Duren for significant value if believe Davis is a full time Center.
Why the Heat do this? They turn Duncan Robinson and 2nd round into a better player who can help them stay competitive.
