.... well, if he weren't for THJ making $16.2M, or the 3rd highest on the Mavs, he'd be worth keeping on the bench..... add that to Kleber's $11M and we could afford a 3 & D guy....
Enjoy your podcasts, you are knowledgeable. As a Wizards fan, Avidja should be untouchable. He can offer even more than what he did last year. The Wizards have a diamond of a player and I hope he stays in Washington
I think Mavs need a new PF starter for DJJ, among those players Deni is the best choice, young and can create, has size, hit the 3. He can be third scoring option. If i had to pick a second option along side Deni it s Brogdon....
stop it, kyries is not an antisemite, he was just too dumb/ignorant to realize what he was actually promoting. listen to him for 5 minutes and you'll realize dude has zero hate towards any ethnicity or religion
I don’t care who they trade for, just so he’s a 20 point per game shooter. Dallas has tried to fill the scoring with 13 ppg shooters. It works sometimes, but in the playoffs they usually revert to < 10 points when we really need 20 points. No one under 20 ppg.
Deni Avdija trade is the only one I think works great for the mavs. If they pulled that off and then got a good catch and shoot 3 specialist to come off the bench they’d be in business!
Avdija is too expensive. He would cost the Mavs all their assets becuase the Wizards need young players who can improve. I would prefer J. Isaac, Kuz as a big wing, Tyus Jones as the bench playmaker and a Laser from the 3 like Kispert. Half the Washington roaster. 😅
It feels really hard to judge Deni's value. He's pretty good all around, young, on a great contract. You can imagine him fitting in any team. But two first rounders? You have to REALLY believe in the shooting. And I don't know if that's justified. He's been a bad shooter most of his career. And even this year he only shot well for 2/3rds of the season on very low volume (if you look at the splits, his shooting seemed to go down as he took more 3s). If he's not an above average shooter, I don’t think you can give up serious capital for him.
@@calebholmes8522 Yeah I think it might take several 2nds more and Hardy or Green. Even then they don't do it unless they get the french freak at 2. which is a good chance and therefore they will sooner or later be in the trading Deni mode.
@@jgarcia238ify I think we need more scoring at the 4. Mavs don't have much to offer. They may have to consider TJ Warren, Boogie Cousins, or possibly Miles Briges. Yes, they all have baggage but the Mavs don't have much to offer a team
From all these options I’d like to get advija. He can still develop and fills out all the things we’re looking for. Great contract as well Also can we get an upgrade on pj Washington or is he staying? I think he’s a liability on offense
Pj being the liability on offense compared to? DJJ? If anything, he's the guy you can believe in improving his 3 ball because his biggest weakness is above the break. He's shown the ability to put the ball down, and do well on mismatches.
My list of trades that make sense: 3 point laser: 1. Kispert (has endless potential as a catch and shot threat) Shoot creating and playmaking: 2. Tyus Jones (you can give Luka a rest while the regular season) 3. Kuzma or Grant (on ball shot creating wings) Defense: 4. Wiggins or Hunter (good defenders with a streaky 3 but they can get to old strength) 5. Jonathan Isaac (the best versatile defender in the NBA) Free agents for a vet min: 6. Bamba (as a stretch Big from the bench) 7. Bol Bol if DJJr doesn’t sign for the mid level Players to trade: Every player except: Luka, Lively, PJ and maybe kyrie
Potential starting 5 Luka Irving/ Kispert PJ Kuzma/ Isaac Lively Hunter, Wiggins and Grant have a to high salary… I would do everything to made a big deal with the wizards and get Kispert, Kuz and Jones
Avdija and bogdanovic will be awesome edition to the mavs roster !!!! Deni avdija was one of the most improved players this past season and on the rise big time ... bogdanovic is a shooter that will compliment luka's game ..
Lauri M and J Clarkson to the Mavs - plenty of assets to offer. Lauri wanted to play with Luka. He is the perfect 3rd scoring option. Clarkson is your 6th man. Move Jones to bench. Now use MLE for a vet PG (Chris Paul?) … Green, Hardy, Prosper, Hardaway expiring contract, and Kleber - along with two 1sts and 2 2nds … Plenty of assets. The only other guy I would consider is PG13 in S\T
@@iMacaroniCheese Lauri isn’t getting moved for anything less than 4 firsts. The Thunder aren’t going to give up 2 of theirs to end up with Gafford. Dallas isn’t getting a third star with what they have and frankly they don’t need it. Role players who can do multiple things is the way to go

@utilitysports at the end of the Wiggins trade you mentioned that THJ and Maxi can’t be traded for Wiggins + another player bc they can’t aggregate players since GS are a 2nd apron team. My understanding of the rule is that they can’t combine 2 players salary to take in 1 matching salary. But that doesn’t prevent them from combining 2 salaries to take in 2 matching salaries. For example the trade could be THJ+ Maxi+ 1st for Wiggins+ Santos. Am I mistaken?
@Utility Sports Sheldon longtime Mavs fan too. What do you think about the Mavericks trading for Sasha Vezenkov or Omer Yurtseven? Possible signings Vit Krejci, Svi Myhailiuk, Simone Fonteccio, Luke Kornet, Caleb Martin, Goga Bitadze, Ochai Agbaji or Ryan Arcidiacono. What are your thoughts?
“Cap relief”? How so? The worst thing to do in the NBA is by over the cap with an aging roster. How does THJ solve anything for them? Wiggins would be Dallas’ starting SF and THJ didn’t play at all for most of the playoffs
@@UtilitySports What are your thoughts on signing TJ Warren? If you're unfamiliar, he's a scoring machine who had his career derailed by injuries. He's basically a cheaper Brogdon.
Dallas need to target a solid 3nD guy. Herb jones and add a guard that can score prolly Brogdon. If there is a possibility to acquire AD then go ALL in. Although its unlikely. Moses Moody also is a great role player
Love Brogden, but he is injury prone. Deni is a great pick up because he can handle the ball. More of a point forward who found his shot and can get his own shot. 2 1st rounders is steep. Probably better to replace 1 with Hardy or Omax. Or Green and a 1st
Give us Andrew Wiggins and I would love Malcom Bradgom too if its possible, I would hate to give up Omax though, but we trade Hardaway, Josh Green, Hardy, Kleber, and 2025 1st and get these both done. We don't need to resign DJJ, Omax needs to be part of rotation next year anyway, he can back up PJ and Andrew Wiggins.
Yeah a career 39% 3pt shooter on good volume, third ball handler and having someone who can actually dribble and pass outside of LuKai… go watch Brogdon some more
@UtilitySports I've seen plenty. He's also a career injury guy saying the stuff given up is too much isn't to say he's a bad player. It's to say that's a dumb fucking trade aside from the salary dump portion.
@@UtilitySports You are correct! Brogdon is great!!! He's basically a more injury prone Kyrie. He's EXTREMELY efficient! But he has availability issues. He'd be an excellent fit, but OMax is completely off limits
Wiggins & DFS would be a very great get while keeping Hardy, PJ, Gafford, & DJJ. Dallas was just beat athletically. Just weren’t big, fast, strong, or skilled enough. Celtics have 4 world class athletes in the line up. Forget them being super skilled & all having huge strengths outweighing the weaknesses. I would be a fan of that move. We can at least get big wing defenders who can knock down more shots! I feel that would round Dallas off as a complete team. I also really like Bridges & Brogdan.
I’ve been asking some of my friends but I’ve got sure and unsure responses.. but what abt Klay? Ik he’s older, plus the 0/10 jokes lol but could he be an asset???
FYI - those draft picks don’t lose value because of GM shelf life. They become assets moved from one organization to another. GMs will take ANY 1st rounders, especially if protection is lifted
Hard disagree. Two trade deadlines ago, the Lakers turned a 2027 first into Vanderbilt and D’Lo The further out, the less value the picks are treated with.
Pick up T Horton Tucker from free agency / Trade for Lauri M. From Utah. For josh green THJ and 1st round 2025. Think that team would be great Luka , Kyrie , PJ at 3, Luari at 4, lively at 5. Bench Hardy, THT, Omax, Maxi, Gafford.
Great video… I don’t mind the Briton deal but honestly think Omax is untouchable, not because he’s proven anything but because he’s being groomed to replace Maxi and they won’t trade him until they’ve seen him in action
Keep in mind, Ardija's contract decreases over time. The price for Kuzma is 2 number ones. Given Ardija's contract (and taking the Hardaway albatross), it may take 3 number ones (probably OKC is the better fit).
NO NO NO NO Wiggins! Watched him the last two years and he's dogshit. GS doesn't like him enough to play him so why would you want to center the entire off-season acquisitions around him??? Just no! And Smith has been horrible the last 2 years. I don't see the point in getting rid of anyone in favor of bringing in a 42% shooter averaging 8pts the last 2 years. Also, Brogdon is a terrible idea. The guy hasn't played over 67 games in the last 7 years. The last thing they need is a guy that's going to be too hurt to be effective in the playoffs. OKC has the formula right. A bunch of young guys who can play 70-80 games every year and are going to grow together until they're incredibly tough to beat. Dallas already has Kyrie who misses games every year. They need people who are going to be there and be dependable.
Trade 1: trade all young athletes for AND a 1st old AF often injured Brogdon…. move kyrie to the bench start Hardy… is better than trading all that for a washed injured PG Grade F- Trade 2 - 2 1st for a 3 that doesn’t seem to stretch the floor… seems expensive. Grade B- Trade 3- Bogdonovich for a 1st and THJ. Grade A- due to age Trade 4 - Wiggins…. Just no… Grade F - head case josh green is more reliable Trade 5 change it to 2-2nds and its ok… Dorian is old now too… Grade C- (Unless it 2- 2nds) I trust Nico will do better…
The only picks here that make sense are for Bogdan Bogdanovic and Dorian Finney Smith but in no way should the Mavs give up people like Hardy. He keeps mentioning a need for a secondary ball handler in the 2nd unit. We already have that in Hardy and Exum. The Mavs had a great season but, to take the next step, they should add someone like: Péjå Stojákövic 6'10" Marcus Camby 6'11" Dennis Rodman 6'8" Steve Kerr 6'3" and Ben Wallace 6'9" And perhaps Maxi Kleber is their Péjå and Oliver Omax Prosper can be our Dennis Rodman but they need to replace the dead weight on the team that contributed so very little: THJ Morris Kleber A J. Lawson And, the young developmental guards. I totally trust the management of the Mavs to get the necessary pieces [2 more 3 points shooters, 2 more bigs and 3 great defensemen]. They can play 10 deep on everyone except the Celtics. Against them, only 9 can hold up: Luka Kyrie P.J. Brown The 2 centers Dante Green Hardy But, to contend with the elite A-N-D defeat Boston in a 7-game series...they must improve on the backend. Release and replace the other 6 players with big, physical tall, defensive minded players + a 6'11" Péjå Stojákövic type player that rebounds and can hit the trey + an unselfish pair like Rodman and Wallace that will do the dirty work...and another 3 point guy that will hit 50% from deep. With that they'll win 60+ games and beat Boston. Luka absolutely must learn to play without the ball in his hands. The "Triangle" offense could be an option. More emphasis must be placed on perimeter defense. Derek Lively needs to shoot the trey more; Dante Exum should be the leader of the 2nd unit, the QB and facilitator. Hardy needs to be our "microwave" [Vinnie Johnson] off the bench. They need 2 big, beefy "enforcers" willing to kick ass if needed to protect Kyrie and Luka when frustrated teams get physical with them. Generally speaking, for elite excellence, they need: 1.) toughness with an edge à la Rodman & Wallace. 2.) 50% excellence from the 3 à la Pèja and Kerr. 3.) Play up tempo, share the ball and rebound ferociously. 4.) Develop a 2nd unit led by Exum with Hardy scoring but with at least 2 great defenders. 5.) Find 2 guys for enforcers that put the fear of God in opposing players who even think about tripping Luka or "accidentally" hitting Kyrie in the face. 6.) Have a come to Jesus meeting with Luka: Get in shape/stay in shape No pouting/fighting refs Work on 3 pt & midrange Lead... To be clear...he wants to be Pistol Pete Maravich [score 40 ppg with 2 assists while teammates watch] but N-E-E-D-s to be Magic Johnson [working the refs, a coach on the floor, calling plays, making sure everybody else gets points and touches the ball...while purposely holding back unless we get down by 15 or down to 5 seconds on the time clock or it's the last 5 minutes of the game.] 7.) Study Magic, Isaiah and Stockton. Strive 2B the '96 Bulls, the '86 Celtics, the '76 Trailblazers or the '72 Knicks with a perfect blend of offense & defense...but the 2004 Pistons were the epitome of what we should try to become with 5 unselfish players led by 2 scorers, a bunch of role players and a savvy coach. Get it? Got it?? Good...
Avdija is good at everything but not very great at anything either. He is going to get better but he plays the same position as PJ too. PJ doesn't play the 3 as well as the 4.
nico absolutely will draft bronny. its not like bronny will get any serious minutes but lebron would definitely join dallas. don't forget lukas favorite player growing up was lebron and kyrie went to 3 straight finals w lebron and won a chip. the draft is trash so its not like dallas would be bypassing gen talent to make this happen. will a team draft bronny before dallas is the question. but if bronny is still available there is no way nico doesn't make this move. the x factor would be does kai and luka take a pay cut. yes. kai already proved that.
What's the definition of insanity? How many times are we going to trade our first round picks for a one year rental? 87% of the scenarios you presented were awful. First round pick for Malcolm brogdan?? Really bro?? Harrison Barnes? What are we doing right now? Deni or Wiggins might possibly be worth trading because of their contracts. I would love to get back Doe Doe but not a first round pick bro.
Dallas doesn't need a ton. What they primarily need is for Luka to complain less (or not at all) and focus on the game. That said, as a Blazer fan, I approve the Brogdon trade as much as I hate to see the professional leave the room.
I just want them to keep kyrie luka and gafford. They need to trade livley that guys numbers are misleading he sucks on defense doesnt move or have any ball skills he isnt anything without a lob . Yes gafford is better
PJ Washington and gafford should be ur 6th and 7th man respectfully. But it u have them as ur starters any team gonna struggle who knows how to win or have experience. As for Luka he needs to be a avg defender. Like he may be the best attacker but seriously lacks in yeb defence. And defence wins championship. Also what Dallas need to do is not wait for the trade deadline 2 make the changes. Because then they push too much to get to the playoffs and gets gassed out by the time when u need the gas most. Basically if they wrap up their playoff berthvwith 20games remaining then the main players can pace themselves for tge playoffs. Like curry does. Or like Boston did. Relaxed the last 10 games. Got a depleted Miami. U need luck to win chips. Got a inexperienced cavs. Got a inexperienced n dumb pacers. Then whooped luka and kyries ass in the finals. Now had they had to push to qualify for the 6th. Had they got jimmy b pushing them to 6 games. Had they had cavs push them or pacers get one or 2 players injured. Then the series would be going 7.
Luka was a elite defender at times in round 1 to 3 .Several stops a game especially clutch time to win games defending and scoring back to back like against OKC and wolves.But you wont seeing it in highlights you need to watch the games.There is a reason the guy he leads the playoff in steals and rebounds and i guess deflactions.A big issue for the mavs was a lack of experience in the finals
Damn dude you're so clueless, it looks like you missed the PO except for the Finals. PJ and Gafford have been crucial to beat top teams like OKC and MIN and to reach Finals
@utilitysports I’m really surprised you didn’t mention the trade I thought made the most sense. THJ + draft comp. For Jordan Clarkson. 1) DAllas’s defense in the finals was fine- BOS never scored more than 107. But than desperately needed another scorer, which Clarkson could be their Jason Terry. 2) Clarkson makes just enough less than THJ that it should put them under the luxury tax- allowing them to offer DJJ the full MLE to keep him. And if they were still over they could just add Lawson’s non-guaranteed into the trade.
You are right, but there is a big "IF' in there. if they get that 6-9 sfFrench Freak at 2 then they are gonna want him to start first season. Still gonna cost a lot but I think then it's quite feasible. though they may wait awhile.
@@countfloydschillerhorrorth2090 look at it this way, i dont think dallas could trade for avdija who is 23 if they traded all their firsts which will be late picks and included lively. dallas doesnt have the assets to get him. wizards dont need hardaway, and if he plays well he get you maybe a 2nd round pick. dallas picks are late picks so they are trash.
I like Brogdon, but giving up Omax AND the 2025 FRP feels like too much. If we could only give up the 2025 pick I would do it. Otherwise let's wait until the trade deadline to see how Omax is panning out and if there are concerns then maybe we include him but right now his upside is pretty decent.
For Trades Maxi Kleber THJ Dante Exum Jaden Hardy Dwight Powell Markief Morris Alex Fudge Greg Brown AJ Lawson Brandon Williams O-Max Prosper Players to get Mac McClung - G League MVP, Combo Guard , Fast & Athletic, Good Shooter , and Affordable Bol Bol - the Only one can stop a unicorn is another unicorn , Bol can stop Porzingis and Wemby, also Affordable Kai Sotto - The Best Young Big Man in Asia , The Only Asian Unicorn in the Universe but more like an Asian Jabbar, very Affordable Bogdan Bogdanovic - European Connection with Luka Zoran Dragic - Slovenian Connection to Luka , Veteran Minimum, give him 2 years contract and then he retires Andrew Wiggins - Scoring help for Luka and Kyrie , I think Mavs can afford him If they get rid of the players above
Doedoe with one of our 1st rd picks is the shittiest trade idea so far, why would giveaway such asset to an old player with limited offense as much as we lime the guy. You should know better🤷♂️
Basically get THJ off my team trades which I totally understand 😂

What about Bruce Brown for THJ and Hardy?
Deni is the one the rest sucks Brogden was insulting why doe that nuts nobody under6-8 or over 28
Dfs is a good djj replacement
FYI - those draft picks don’t lose value because of GM shelf life. They become assets moved from one organization to another. GMs will take ANY 1st rounders, especially if protection is lifted
Hard disagree. Two trade deadlines ago, the Lakers turned a 2027 first into Vanderbilt and D’Lo
The further out, the less value the picks are treated with.
First AND a young prospect for Brogdon? Send it in !
I'm not really a fan of Dodo coming back. I'd much rather have someone more versitile on the offensive end.
Pick up T Horton Tucker from free agency / Trade for Lauri M. From Utah. For josh green THJ and 1st round 2025. Think that team would be great
Luka , Kyrie , PJ at 3, Luari at 4, lively at 5. Bench Hardy, THT, Omax, Maxi, Gafford.
Great video…
I don’t mind the Briton deal but honestly think Omax is untouchable, not because he’s proven anything but because he’s being groomed to replace Maxi and they won’t trade him until they’ve seen him in action
I like Bobby Portis for Mavs, that would be a better Kleiber that can post up
How many 2nds do we have to offer?
I think 2
In Nico Harrison, I trust!
Keep in mind, Ardija's contract decreases over time. The price for Kuzma is 2 number ones. Given Ardija's contract (and taking the Hardaway albatross), it may take 3 number ones (probably OKC is the better fit).
2 firsts for Kuz?😂😂😂😂😂😂
What about Collin Sexton or Jerami Grant
I would like Tobias Harris, De'Anthony Melton, or Malik Monk to the Mavs.
They need KCP!
NO NO NO NO Wiggins! Watched him the last two years and he's dogshit. GS doesn't like him enough to play him so why would you want to center the entire off-season acquisitions around him??? Just no!
And Smith has been horrible the last 2 years. I don't see the point in getting rid of anyone in favor of bringing in a 42% shooter averaging 8pts the last 2 years.
Also, Brogdon is a terrible idea. The guy hasn't played over 67 games in the last 7 years. The last thing they need is a guy that's going to be too hurt to be effective in the playoffs. OKC has the formula right. A bunch of young guys who can play 70-80 games every year and are going to grow together until they're incredibly tough to beat. Dallas already has Kyrie who misses games every year. They need people who are going to be there and be dependable.
Trade 1: trade all young athletes for AND a 1st old AF often injured Brogdon…. move kyrie to the bench start Hardy… is better than trading all that for a washed injured PG
Grade F-
Trade 2 - 2 1st for a 3 that doesn’t seem to stretch the floor… seems expensive.
Grade B-
Trade 3- Bogdonovich for a 1st and THJ.
Grade A- due to age
Trade 4 - Wiggins…. Just no…
Grade F - head case josh green is more reliable
Trade 5 change it to 2-2nds and its ok… Dorian is old now too…
Grade C- (Unless it 2- 2nds)
I trust Nico will do better…
The only picks here that make sense are for Bogdan Bogdanovic and Dorian Finney Smith but in no way should the Mavs give up people like Hardy.
He keeps mentioning a need for a secondary ball handler in the 2nd unit. We already have that in Hardy and Exum.
The Mavs had a great season but, to take the next step, they should add someone like:
Péjå Stojákövic 6'10"
Marcus Camby 6'11"
Dennis Rodman 6'8"
Steve Kerr 6'3" and
Ben Wallace 6'9"
And perhaps Maxi Kleber is their Péjå and Oliver Omax Prosper can be our Dennis Rodman but they need to replace the dead weight on the team that contributed so very little:
THJ
Morris
Kleber
A J. Lawson
And, the young developmental guards. I totally trust the management of the Mavs to get the necessary pieces [2 more 3 points shooters, 2 more bigs and 3 great defensemen].
They can play 10 deep on everyone except the Celtics. Against them, only 9 can hold up:
Luka
Kyrie
P.J.
Brown
The 2 centers
Dante
Green
Hardy
But, to contend with the elite A-N-D defeat Boston in a 7-game series...they must improve on the backend. Release and replace the other 6 players with big, physical tall, defensive minded players + a 6'11" Péjå Stojákövic type player that rebounds and can hit the trey + an unselfish pair like Rodman and Wallace that will do the dirty work...and another 3 point guy that will hit 50% from deep.
With that they'll win 60+ games and beat Boston.
Luka absolutely must learn to play without the ball in his hands. The "Triangle" offense could be an option. More emphasis must be placed on perimeter defense. Derek Lively needs to shoot the trey more; Dante Exum should be the leader of the 2nd unit, the QB and facilitator.
Hardy needs to be our "microwave" [Vinnie Johnson] off the bench. They need 2 big, beefy "enforcers" willing to kick ass if needed to protect Kyrie and Luka when frustrated teams get physical with them.
Generally speaking, for elite excellence, they need:
1.) toughness with an edge à la Rodman & Wallace.
2.) 50% excellence from the 3 à la Pèja and Kerr.
3.) Play up tempo, share the ball and rebound ferociously.
4.) Develop a 2nd unit led by Exum with Hardy scoring but with at least 2 great defenders.
5.) Find 2 guys for enforcers that put the fear of God in opposing players who even think about tripping Luka or "accidentally" hitting Kyrie in the face.
6.) Have a come to Jesus meeting with Luka:
Get in shape/stay in shape
No pouting/fighting refs
Work on 3 pt & midrange
Lead...
To be clear...he wants to be Pistol Pete Maravich [score 40 ppg with 2 assists while teammates watch] but N-E-E-D-s to be Magic Johnson [working the refs, a coach on the floor, calling plays, making sure everybody else gets points and touches the ball...while purposely holding back unless we get down by 15 or down to 5 seconds on the time clock or it's the last 5 minutes of the game.]
7.) Study Magic, Isaiah and Stockton. Strive 2B the '96 Bulls, the '86 Celtics, the '76 Trailblazers or the '72 Knicks with a perfect blend of offense & defense...but the 2004 Pistons were the epitome of what we should try to become with 5 unselfish players led by 2 scorers, a bunch of role players and a savvy coach.
Get it?
Got it??
Good...
Avdija is good at everything but not very great at anything either. He is going to get better but he plays the same position as PJ too. PJ doesn't play the 3 as well as the 4.
You forgot our second round picks
While I think those 2nd round picks are valuable, I wanted to focus on the assets that would primarily allow Dallas to make meaningful win now moves.
Kelly Oubre?
Bogdan will be a great addition.
Get Rid of THJ and we are fine #MFFL
I think the magic could value a tim hardaway and josh green
The fact that you include hardaway to be trade for Brogdon nor Avdija. Both teams really trade Brogdon for Avdija 😂
I dont get your splits of assets and “tradable contracts” All of these are all assets, even THJ’s expiring contract…
Dani Avdija and Malcolm Brogdon get them
Mavs please. Trade Green, THJ, Hardy, maybe PJ Washington as well
nico absolutely will draft bronny. its not like bronny will get any serious minutes but lebron would definitely join dallas. don't forget lukas favorite player growing up was lebron and kyrie went to 3 straight finals w lebron and won a chip. the draft is trash so its not like dallas would be bypassing gen talent to make this happen. will a team draft bronny before dallas is the question. but if bronny is still available there is no way nico doesn't make this move. the x factor would be does kai and luka take a pay cut. yes. kai already proved that.
What's the definition of insanity? How many times are we going to trade our first round picks for a one year rental? 87% of the scenarios you presented were awful. First round pick for Malcolm brogdan?? Really bro?? Harrison Barnes? What are we doing right now? Deni or Wiggins might possibly be worth trading because of their contracts. I would love to get back Doe Doe but not a first round pick bro.
Duop Reath from Portland to replace what Maxi Kleber used to be
That’s not enough for Deni. If I’m the Wiz I just hold on to Deni until the Godfather deal comes in
I agree. Not sure a godfather offer ever comes in for him, but I could see Washington just keeping him
Mavericks need to draft Jack Gohlke
Trade THJ.
Malik monk for mavs
Why would the Wizards give Deni away? This makes no sense. He is part of the rebuild.
How long have they been rebuilding? Did they even make the playoffs?
Mavs are mortgaging their future as they have already traded away many draft picks
May need to pass on Kyrie.and Hardaway.
We need Lauri markenan
Rather have josh green than wiggins.
😢mffl
Trade all them bums off the bench especially Hardaway!
BROGDON failed as a Celtics
MAVS don't need Brogdon
No to another Mavzbricks
Bring Bogdan
Clippers offseason
Get Dorian back
None of these trades will make the mavericks a better team😂
Deni avdija can make diffrence elite defender solid shooter and cutter. bogdan bogdanovic would be fine tho
Dallas doesn’t have shit to trade with. They absolutely suck.
First
Still want that magic off-season preview
Dallas doesn't need a ton. What they primarily need is for Luka to complain less (or not at all) and focus on the game.
That said, as a Blazer fan, I approve the Brogdon trade as much as I hate to see the professional leave the room.
I just want them to keep kyrie luka and gafford. They need to trade livley that guys numbers are misleading he sucks on defense doesnt move or have any ball skills he isnt anything without a lob . Yes gafford is better
PJ Washington and gafford should be ur 6th and 7th man respectfully. But it u have them as ur starters any team gonna struggle who knows how to win or have experience. As for Luka he needs to be a avg defender. Like he may be the best attacker but seriously lacks in yeb defence. And defence wins championship. Also what Dallas need to do is not wait for the trade deadline 2 make the changes. Because then they push too much to get to the playoffs and gets gassed out by the time when u need the gas most. Basically if they wrap up their playoff berthvwith 20games remaining then the main players can pace themselves for tge playoffs. Like curry does. Or like Boston did. Relaxed the last 10 games. Got a depleted Miami. U need luck to win chips. Got a inexperienced cavs. Got a inexperienced n dumb pacers. Then whooped luka and kyries ass in the finals. Now had they had to push to qualify for the 6th. Had they got jimmy b pushing them to 6 games. Had they had cavs push them or pacers get one or 2 players injured. Then the series would be going 7.
Luka was a elite defender at times in round 1 to 3 .Several stops a game especially clutch time to win games defending and scoring back to back like against OKC and wolves.But you wont seeing it in highlights you need to watch the games.There is a reason the guy he leads the playoff in steals and rebounds and i guess deflactions.A big issue for the mavs was a lack of experience in the finals
Avarage ....according to you 80% of the league are below avarage .2nd in defensiv PG .16th defesiv PM
Damn dude you're so clueless, it looks like you missed the PO except for the Finals. PJ and Gafford have been crucial to beat top teams like OKC and MIN and to reach Finals
The best 3-D forward we can get. I’m just scared that ends up being like Harrison Barnes.
wiggins from GS or Hunter from the hawks would be my bet, maybe both
Lauri M via trade. He is leaving Utah
@@jwill5984 We don't have enough assets
Nah bruh he’s a jag we already tried that
@@BPS270 exactly, that’s why I’m scared that kind of move is our big move of the offseason. Getting just a guy.
@utilitysports I’m really surprised you didn’t mention the trade I thought made the most sense.
THJ + draft comp. For Jordan Clarkson.
1) DAllas’s defense in the finals was fine- BOS never scored more than 107. But than desperately needed another scorer, which Clarkson could be their Jason Terry.
2) Clarkson makes just enough less than THJ that it should put them under the luxury tax- allowing them to offer DJJ the full MLE to keep him. And if they were still over they could just add Lawson’s non-guaranteed into the trade.
Wizards won't trade deni unless its big overpay, hes part of their future and is getting better each year
I agree
@@UtilitySports what do you think about a bruce brown fit in dallas?
You are right, but there is a big "IF' in there. if they get that 6-9 sfFrench Freak at 2 then they are gonna want him to start first season.
Still gonna cost a lot but I think then it's quite feasible. though they may wait awhile.
@@countfloydschillerhorrorth2090 look at it this way, i dont think dallas could trade for avdija who is 23 if they traded all their firsts which will be late picks and included lively. dallas doesnt have the assets to get him. wizards dont need hardaway, and if he plays well he get you maybe a 2nd round pick. dallas picks are late picks so they are trash.
@@giovanni-ed7zq The picks by Lakers and Dallas 31 might be top 5.
The Mavs have to trade for a Forward, and I'm not very high on either DFS or Deni
Sorry Mavs fans but no Deni...at least not this year.
Hell no not wiggins. He won his ring hes not the same guy anymore
Him winning a ring isn’t the reason why he’s not the same guy anymore. It was personal problems with his family.
Mark my word PG 13 with end up with mav this summer in a 3 or 4 team trade for some draft picks and hardaway
I prefer role players like White, not another "super stars"
Mikal Bridges
That’d be amazing, but no way Mavs have the assets to get him
Would love this but I don’t no how we can get him
I like Brogdon, but giving up Omax AND the 2025 FRP feels like too much. If we could only give up the 2025 pick I would do it. Otherwise let's wait until the trade deadline to see how Omax is panning out and if there are concerns then maybe we include him but right now his upside is pretty decent.
Connaughton is like a poor old mans Austin Reeves. Which for cheap isn't a bad thing.
For Trades
Maxi Kleber
THJ
Dante Exum
Jaden Hardy
Dwight Powell
Markief Morris
Alex Fudge
Greg Brown
AJ Lawson
Brandon Williams
O-Max Prosper
Players to get
Mac McClung - G League MVP, Combo Guard , Fast & Athletic, Good Shooter , and Affordable
Bol Bol - the Only one can stop a unicorn is another unicorn , Bol can stop Porzingis and Wemby, also Affordable
Kai Sotto - The Best Young Big Man in Asia , The Only Asian Unicorn in the Universe but more like an Asian Jabbar, very Affordable
Bogdan Bogdanovic - European Connection with Luka
Zoran Dragic - Slovenian Connection to Luka , Veteran Minimum, give him 2 years contract and then he retires
Andrew Wiggins - Scoring help for Luka and Kyrie , I think Mavs can afford him If they get rid of the players above
I have big questions about Bogdanovic’s durability at this stage of his career
Doedoe with one of our 1st rd picks is the shittiest trade idea so far, why would giveaway such asset to an old player with limited offense as much as we lime the guy. You should know better🤷♂️
