I don't know what you mean or if you're trying to make a point. My only point is we have an asset that DAL disproportionately values. I don't have a specific trade in mind.

I was expecting a trade offer in a trade thread. :D

Sorry to disappoint. You seem perfectly capable of using a trade machine to come to with your own.

Dallas will trade everyone and start over, won't have their pick next year, and STILL be in a better position than Charlotte in 2028, that's how sorry this franchise is

I would do everything possible to reunite Flagg and Kon, while keeping our 2026 pick top 5 protected. Trade the whole team for all I care. But it would clearly never happen

This board obsession with Cooper Flagg is weird. I'm not seeing what everyone else is seeing.

I honestly think Kon has looked better than Flagg so far. Why are people acting like Flagg is some can't miss prospect?

nah they can take our pick totally unprotected lol, I'm not moved by 3 mediocre weeks on a highly dysfunctional team where vibes are probably through the floor.

We can trade the vast majority of the franchise and its picks and not miss any of it.

Does increase the possibility that we're trade partners if we offer them their pick back so they have incentive to tank.

Flagg would be the only one I’d send that pick back for though.

AD and Kyrie aren’t saving this roster, I like Pj but not enough to give up a valuable first for.

Does PJ even want to be here? He's basically said he's lucky to be somewhere else. :noway:

Yeah, I don't get why trading for PJ would even be considered. If he comes back here, he's 100% going to turn into Nic Batum.

Honestly, I'm not very interested in any of the Mavs players. I don't want to bench Kalk for one of their centers and Diabate is a good backup.

The 18 year old who just scored 25 points?

I don't see what Dallas could offer right now that would make me want to part with their 2027 pick. It's possible they could get another interesting pick/prospect for AD/Kyrie and use them to get the pick back but as of right now I'd rather hold than add PJ or Gafford. They won't be trading Flagg or Lively.

I would trade for PJ and Gafford but not give them their own pick back for them.

If they want their pick back Derek Lively is basically the only player they have that would get the convo started for me (Flagg is virtually untouchable).

Is this crazy?

Tre Mann + Tidjane Salaun + Diabate/Kalkbrenner + 2027 Mavs 1st for PJ Washington + Derek Lively

starters: LaMelo ~ Kon ~ Miller ~ PJ ~ Lively
bench5: Sexton ~ Sion ~ Green ~ Grant ~ Kalk/Moose

starters: Kyrie ~ Klay ~ Flagg ~ AD ~ Gafford
bench5: Mann ~ Christie ~ Marshall ~ Powell/Salaun ~ Moose/Kalk

Bridges/fillers/Dal pick for AD is the only offer I can come up with.

Even then it's a major gamble for us what good is adding AD if he going to be in street clothes with LaMelo/Miller on the bench

Miles, Pat, Sexton, Miami pick and the worst of Orlando etc. pick for Sabonis and Ellis.

*healthy team

Melo - Mann
Kon - Ellis
Brandon - Sion - Liam
Sabonis - Green
Kalk - Diabate

I was going to mention Keon Ellis as a guy that seems undervalued and might be nice on this team.

That team should be pretty good. It does kind of depend on if Sabonis (or Kalk) can make 3's at a decent rate for spacing though.

If we trade for Sabonis, I think he should be slotted in at PF, not C. Simply because he's a really bad rim defender, which is one of the reasons the Kings haven't managed to win with him.

Sabonis has had a slight falling off this year. He’s still solid but he’s not the 20/13 guy anymore. More like the 15/12 dude.
