I’ve thought about the Mavs trading for Ja but is he actually good or is he just fast and athletic? He’s fun to watch on the fast break and he can definitely put on a show with his ability to dunk but is he actually any good? To me he seems to be a younger version of Westbrook.

He is good, not good as Luka, Wemba, Jokic ecc ecc but he is still in the second tier (for sure he was there, injuries and stuffs of the court limited him a lot).
I don't know if he is the right man to put along Coop (probably not) but Ja-Max-Coop-PJ-Street clothes could be a decent lineup.

Yeah unfortunately MEM is not trading for AD with JJJ on the team already. Plus, what do you do with Kyrie? It's almost the same player with defensive struggles, can't play them both.
If MEM trades Ja, i'm pretty sure they'll want a PG in return or something similar, a star combo guard and a ton of picks. Probably perfect trade for them would be with ATL for Trae.

11 years in the league and 5 teams.
32% from the field is what he is shooting for us.
36% from the field last season. Everybody and their grandma knows he is an issue for any roster.
4th most shot attempts on our team.

DLo is clearly a skilled player. But watching him play I can see why he’s been on 5 teams and no one has committed to him being the full time PG. To me it seems like he thinks he’s the star player.

Lonzo, BWill
Grimes, Max
Cooper, Naji
PJ, AD
AD, Dlive, Gaff

What about Dillon Brooks? He’s a solid defender. He’s scheduled to make $21M this season and $19M next season. The Suns might have some interest in AD however I don’t think Nico would trade him for anything less than what he considers a superstar player in return.
Would the Suns be willing to trade Brooks for Caleb and Naji? Would the Mavs have to include a pick? Is Brooks worth that much?

And it's still not a contender team.

Keep in mind this team is insanely desperate for a good playmaker... So i would assume Mavs would look for someone in that ballpark. But then again, it's Nico so you never know what he'll come up. No one thought he would trade basically the best playmaking forward since Lebron who was perfect for this team.
