Dallas Mavericks 2025 Trade thread -- Roster and Cap

[Mr B]

Well if this is true who are the likely candidates to trade a pick to Dallas? Brooklyn has 4 FRP’s (#8, #19, #26, and #27) and they have a 2nd (#36). It’s not likely that they draft and keep 5 players. I don’t know if they can get #8 from Brooklyn but I would think #19 can be had.

San Antonio at #14, or OKC at #15 could be had too I would think. Minnesota could be looking for a veteran instead of adding a guy drafted at #17.

[Astaluego]

Max Christie + D.Gafford + SRP MAGIC
Hardy+Powell+Howard+O-Max+25 JAZZ
Black+Goga+Sexton+43+53 MAVS

[Darren]

Why would Utah facilitate a trade like that ?

[ACMFFL]

ATL: Gafford, #26
(out: Niang, #22)

BRK: Hardy, #21, 2030 PHI 2nd (via DAL)
(out: #26, #27)

CHI: Martin, Marshall, #27
(out: Lonzo, Smith)

DAL: Sexton, Ball, Smith, #22
(out: Gafford, Caleb, Marshall, Hardy, 2029 LAL 1st, 2030 PHI 2nd)

UTA: Niang, unprotected 2029 LAL 1st
(out: Sexton, #21)

•draft Walter Clayton Jr. at #22
•re-sign both Dwight Powell and Dante Exum at the min vet
•sign a vet wing for the min.

•then Mavs are 41.45M below the 2nd apron, that gives us enough room to re-sign Kyrie (I expect something like 3/123)

Lively / Smith / Powell
Davis / Washington / Prosper
Flagg / Christie / min vet wing
Thompson / Ball / Exum
Irving / Sexton / Clayton

You'd better draft Rashad Fleming instead of yet another guard unless you're a big Powell fan.

[arkuo]

There are some teams that are desperate for a center. NOLA and ATL.

You enter a season without a center, might as well not play at all. So these guys might be willing to swap talent for Gaff.

Please no to Sexton. He is not a good or winning basketball player. The undersized SG's who dont have PG skills really are a waste of a roster spot

Hardy?

[daoneandonly]

Yea Hardy is trash and extending him was a foolish mistake

Tim Cato is reporting that the interest in Jrue is real, prepare yourselves for Klay, PJ, Hardy and LAL 29 1st for Jrue

I would think anyone willing to take on Jrue’s contract is due the picks, not the other way around. Boston is desperate to dump Jrue. Dallas would be doing them a favor by giving them 3 very tradeable contracts for 1 really bad contract. Mavs should get a 1st from Boston for that.

PJ and a 1st? And pay Jrue until 40? That's awful...Replace PJ with Martin; 1st to a 2nd. It's more fair. Jrue is not a PG at all.

[Darren]

It's kinda like trading 2 firsts for Gobert.

Yeah, I agree, but I think Nico will overpay.

That would be insanely too much.

I'm fine with trading for Jrue as long as we're not giving up any valuable trade assets like PJ, Gafford, Lively and draft picks.

Klay/Martin/Hardy/Powell for Jrue/#32 is a fair deal imo.

Take Proctor at 32 to show Cooper we are starting to build around him.

No, Boston would have to give the Mavs a 1st for taking Jrue’s contract off their hands. No way should the Mavs be sending a pick to Boston.

Exactly... Unless Silver makes another call to Harrison.

I'm definitely all in on that deal if we ultimately yield Daryn Peterson. Hell, I add AD as a throw-in.

[Darren]

The Mavs is rumored to have interested in Harper. Previously there is report that the Spurs is talking with Phily for a trade down scenario and asking for multiple picks Bailey cancels the visit to Philly. Combined with Phoenix intrigued by Minny and Giannis staying put, I can see a trade like AD for Vassell and Harper. I am not sure I like it but it's better to get away from 2 timeline approach. The spacing could be significantly better. .Not sure it means better offense or defense, though.

[Darren]

If Lively gains more muscle and is more compacted in muscle, I am fine with this move. I am sure SAS wants a scenario without 3 PG but improving other positions as well.
