#FireNico
Luka in 2 games 92, all our starters 142.
Yup. Amazing how much one man (Nico) can screw up in such a short time.

PJ should be untouchable. He's been their best player so far if you account both offense and defense. He's an excellent 3&D player.
If you do decide to blow it up then Gafford, AD, Hardy, Exum, Naji, DLo, Klay maybe even Kyrie, those are the first you focus on getting rid. Then you also have fillers like Powell and Martin.
Basically 80% of the roster are tradeable assets. Some are fillers while most obviously hold some value. The real question is, who would you want to keep and in what type of scenario. Just get rid of AD and hopefully upgrade the roster in the process? Or like i said, blow it up and start fresh around Flagg?HMFFL wrote:Max Christie may get overlooked. I prefer him to get more shot attempts. I hope Kidd gets him more involved.
Have you noticed how many times Klay got himself open? Dude is doing cardio while the rest of the team is mostly ignoring him. Granted he wasn't great so far but hoping that anyone will create offense and find open guys is an illusion at this point.
I’m just trying to get an idea of what everyone here would do. Sounds like there are really only two options from your point of view. Do nothing or completely blow it up.
So you don’t think AD has much value? You don’t think he would have value to a team like the Spurs (next to Wemby)? What about the Knicks (replacement for KAT, with KAT going to a 3rd team)? Seems to me there is at least 1 or 2 teams that would love to add AD.

Explain to me how can Nico trade AD half a year after he traded superstar for him, talked about D wins championships, talked about how AD will change Mavs culture?
But let's say Nico is fired, you don't need players like KAT for AD you primarily want FRPs to build a roster around Flagg. KAT won't help you much, Mavs is not winning anything with KAT or AD. Flagg is not rookie capable of winning now and you need diametrically opposed players to players who were built around Luka.

The only reason I think Nico would agree to trade AD is if his job depended on it. If they keep losing the way they have been that will put the pressure on Nico.
As for trading AD to NY, I personally would prefer to send KAT to a 3rd team and draft picks come back to Dallas.
