Dallas Mavericks 2023/24 Trade thread

[Mavrelous]

Roster has been definitely upgraded but I have to say 1 quasi-unprotected FRP with high variance + 1 swap is a steep price to pay to turn GWill/Holmes/Curry into Gafford/PJ, especially if we factor in the swap we gave up for Grant last summer.

Grant Williams was a bad deal, so was Holmes, you have to pay to get rid of.
The 2030 swap, and the fact they went the S&T route was stupid.

Smart during Luka’s prime if he’s still here. Pick should basically be the same. Thats the hope atleast

Dinwiddie from the bench is good and i think he loves to come back...

The Oklahoma City Thunder acquired a 2028 pick swap from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for a 2024 first-round draft pick. The 2024 pick will be sent to the Washington Wizards in the Daniel Gafford deal, sources told ESPN's Tim MacMahon.

The draft pick is the second-least favorable of the Houston Rockets 2024 draft pick (top-four protected), the LA Clippers 2024 draft pick, the Utah Jazz 2024 draft pick (top-10 protected) or Oklahoma City's own 2024 draft pick.

He would definetely fit in well but I have a feeling it will be the Lakers...he was dissapointed and not happy when the Mavs traded him

[Forbes]

I feel like Curry was traded to make space for Dinwiddie. Thats my hope atleast. More offense just mean more rest for Luka. I wouldn’t be afraid of the minutes hes was playing if he was in superb shape.

Curry was useless here. No room for him.

Dinwiddie can give some rest to Luka and Irving plus with Exum suspect health.

Overall Mavs did good. This season they got PJ, Lively, Gafford, OMax and Exum replacing Wood, Frank, Pinson and Bullock. It costed couple of round picks while still retaining young core of players which can be looked at further in the off season.

Anyone who thinks reshuffling roster is easy and doesn't cost anything is simply kidding themselves. Teams don't just help other teams to get better and Mavs never sign good free agents so they have to be creative with what they have via trades. Overall Nico did good, now only thing missing is another defensive wing and obviously a better coach.

And also.

What's done is done, the roster is better, clear from all the clutter, only deal that can be considered bad is Maxi's deal, and even then, he's needed as the only stretch 5 on roster.
Time to pay the FO and fans back, we want top 6 seed and deep PO run.

I dont know if im alone here, but Josh Green at 14 mil a year is a bad deal in my opinion, worse than maxi's

Yeah GWill deal turns out to be a disaster, there was no reason to ask for SAS help to sign him, I doubt Boston would have matched it.

You’re not alone but I’m not a fan of Green at all. Along with Hardy and THJ. I want them all gone. But for now I have to root for them and hope for some Luck.

Well maybe Grants ego will come back down to earth now that two good teams have let him go basicaly for nothing....DAL even payed a verry light protected first to get rid of him... he's trying way too hard to be like Draymond,talking smack, showing off, being cocky...at least Draymond could back it up back in the day....this guy can't...if he gets in shape he can be a solid PF of the bench(not a starter) in the Nba

Mavs aren't done yet... they'll make trades in the offseason too

My hope is he looks at his option and know going to the Mavs is easier than anywhere else. He know what to expect, he know the whole team is injury prone and can atleast play himself into a new contract. There almost no chance of flourishing on the lakers and getting a nice contract

[leolozon]

I hope to be wrong, but it’s just the latest of many many examples of the Mavs being too impatient in the last 5 years.

Giving up basically an unprotected 1st is just dumb. PJ has never been a good shooter and the Mavs need strength, which he doesn’t have.

I’m not good with the money aspect, but couldn’t they have tried to sign and trade for PJ instead of Grant last year? No one had money to give him a contract.

Oh I know I’m looking forward to it. THJs is contract is finally going to be VERY valuable.

[ejs78]

Sounds like its the Mavs, Lakers, 76ers, and Pelicans in on Spencer.

Could be a 3 team race depending on if Lowry lands on one of these teams. Think all 4 have had interest in him in the past but he wasnt so washed back then either.

With what? I don't know what you can get for Josh, unless he has fantastic second part of the season, which won't be easy when Exum returns, especially if they add Dinwiddie?

[GermanFan120]

I really wish for the return of Spencer.

[Mavrelous]

Philly has no point guards except Maxey, they will be the top destination for PGs, I assumed they were confident Lowrey is bought out, but Spencer is a better option.
