Dallas Mavericks 2025 Trade thread -- Roster and Cap -- 1st page updated on July 1st

[Michaellam1987]

Tre Mann suddenly became available.

Who's better between Mann and Dlo?

Mann is better scorer and shooter, but Dlo is better ball handler and passer. Defensively, they are both bad, but Dlo has better physical tool to be better defensively.

I see. If DLO is in, then the last spot is a choice between Exum or Mann? Barring any surprise free agent candidates getting waived all of a sudden.

I don't think Dallas were in on Collin Sexton at all. Ainge would have to agree to taking on whatever fillers Dallas was giving, and Dallas would have to pay Sexton a new contract since he's a free agent.

I think the 15-man roster is full already after signing Dlo

KI/Klay/Flagg/AD/Lively
Dlo/Max/Naji/PJ/Gafford
Bwill/Hardy/Celab/Omax/Powell

If so, then Dinwiddie and Exum are both gone. Unless they find a way to dump Omax and hire one of those two back.

[daoneandonly]

It would eb a massive FA fail if our targets are D Lo and Exum. Those guys are worthless, D-Lo has a crap me first attitude and Exum is probably the one player in the league softer than AD

What will be your suggestion on how to spend the mini MLE?

Even Eric Gordon is a betetr option than D Lo and Exum

[arkuo]

Bradley Beal at the vet minimum or DLO at $5.7M?

[arkuo]

If the Blazers are looking to save cash by working a buyout with Deandre Ayton, then buyout Jrue Holiday as well so Dallas can sign him for the minimum.

Drama in Hollywood, LeBron with cryptic message of asking out and DFS opts out!
Looks like LeBron could be had...

Lebron and that $52M contract is what's turning off a lot of people. I mean, if Nico really wanted a 3rd maxed out star, Kevin Durant would have been a way better fit being 3 years younger than Bron, no?

But LBJ for the vet minimum is a no brainer. Even if it means making space for Bronny.

The only way I see him moving to another team is if he’s bought out by the Lakers. No one is going to gut their team to rent a 40 year old Labron for 1 season.

KD costs a lot, LeBron is for free...

Labron is not free at the moment. He has a $52M price tag and you only get him for 1 season. Oh yea and he’s 40 years old. Are you ok giving up Gafford/PJ/Klay for Labron?

I don't know. Gafford, PJ, Klay and Martin. Beyond that, I am not very interested. But yes, with Lebron, you can spend on SG or C instead.

Worst idea I’ve ever heard. I’d rather have a team than have Labron and bunch of guys watching Labron.

Stein's saying we're looking at dumping Omax to make room for Exum after likely signing D'Lo.

I'd rather dump Powell or Hardy but would think Nico doesn't want to because he doesn't want to give up additional assets (likely a SRP or 2). We don't have much to begin with since Nico just gives them away like candy.

With Cooper Flagg and the rest of the wings in this team OMax is the odd man out. I think if OMax had shown more consistency his name wouldn’t even have been brought up.

Lots of buzz on ESPN today about Lebron evaluating his Laker situation.

If by any chance he works a buyout with LA, by all means yes, I'm in. But for a trade to match salaries for his $52M deal? No way. Too much players going out.

Here's an interesting topic. If Lebron managers to equal MJ's rings at 6. Does it make him GOAT?

Personally I do not want a Lebron James hanging around Cooper's rookie year. But for the vet min? Might have to do that deal.

No to LeBron. I don't care at what price. He has to ruin Luka Lakers.

D-Lo will be the starter and he will be good to very good. Book it.

[arkuo]

Replace Exum with Jordan Clarkson (Just got waived)

Replace Omax with Guerschon Yabusele (UFA)

Replace Dinwiddie with one of Dlo or CP3 (UFA)

I think all 3 of those are upgrades.

[arkuo]

No to LeBron. I don't care at what price. He has to ruin Luka Lakers.

Highly likely that AD has been on the phone with DLo all week. AD will toss him out of the window if he doesn't sign with the Mavs.

Stein has been reporting it all week, so detailed including the number of years and the amount he goes for.

This has the feels of a first hour signing.

Now I'm hoping for Jordan Clarkson to replace Exum.

So Anthony Davis not only cost us Luka, but now he's the reason D-Lo will be a Mav. Add to that the 47 games he'll miss next year, he may be my most disliked player. Yes more than KP and Josh Green

It makes zero sense.
Maybe a 40% shooter and a known cancer.

Yea absolutely nonsensical. But with Nico and AD, pure foolishness

I am wrong about D-Low not making sense.

It's a cheap deal and he can be moved for assets eventually. Even if it's for a couple of second round picks.
