Mavs deep restructuring.. Kings/Hou/76ers

KINGS
In:AD/Klay/Marshall
Out: Lavine/DDR/Carter /Kings 27/31 and Wolves 31

Monk/Klay/Murray/AD/Sabonis
FA/Ellis/Marshall/LaRavia/Valanciunas

The Kings are building a contender,...I think they could still use the MLE in free agency to get a guard, ideally Ty Jerome, any of Tre or Tyus Jones or even Dindwiddie..
I think it would be important to highlight that after the trade, they still retain assets, since they would have a FRP every year except 2029.

HOUSTON
In: Lavine
Out:Green/Landale/10

Houston gets a huge talent upgrade, plus Lavine expires a year before Green, giving them more flexibility... I really think Lavine's efficient scoring would fit in very well with a well-structured and coached team like Houston.

76ers
In: Gafford/Washington/DDR/Lakers 29
Out:PG/3

Maxey/Grimes/DDR/Washington/Embiid
Mccain/Gordon/Oubre/Edwards/Gafford

The 76ers acquire ideal complementary pieces and part with long-term PG money.

MAVS
In:PG/Green/Landale/Carter/3/10/KINGS 27 and 29/Wolves 31

3 Bailey
10 Jakucionis or Queen

C... Lively/Landale
PF. Flagg/O-Max/Powell
SF.P.George/Bailey/Martin
SG.Green/Christie/Hardy
PG.Carter/(Irving)/B.Williams

The Mavs show Flagg they are willing to give him the keys to the Mavs, get several young prospects and future picks

Pretty awful for the Sixers. They give up the best player on their end of the deal and the #3 pick... Just a non-conversation starter.

As for the rest... That Kings team clearly isn't a contender. They have no business going in like that for AD.

Also don't like it for the Rockets. LaVine is not the level of player they are looking at. And I certainly don't have him worth a lotto pick more than Green. Honestly, they kinda seem like the same player.

You need to attach assets to get off Lavines albatross deal.

He is and always has been a non impactful, yet extremely expensive player.

To me, Green has a bit less value than LaVine, but the difference is a pick in the 20s if Houston is interested in that swap?

Sixers are out on this completely. Absolute non-starter.

I don't see Houston biting either. If all they're getting is LaVine, it's better to just stick with Jalen.

Also feels like the Mavs are getting too much.

This is junk for the 76ers. This is mainly a dump Paul George salary move in name of trying to win now. I see no reason for the 76ers to devalue the 3rd pick to this extent just to get off of Paul George contract. I also don't like this for other teams neither. Like why are the Kings moving assets to get Anthony Davis? This trade does not make them a contender.This would just make them locked into play-in purgatory with no end goal for the short or long term. Value difference between Jalen Green and Zach Lavine is not the 10th pick in the draft.

Kick out HOU and SAC, add BOS and WSH.

BOS gets Marcus Smart
DAL gets Jrue Holiday, Kelly Oubre, Eric Gordon, and 18
PHI gets PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, Khris Middleton, and 6
WSH gets Klay Thompson, Paul George, and 3

I doubt Washington is willing to eat all that salary and throw in 18 just to move up from 6 to 3. They'd have to really love someone there, cause thats a big price to pay.
