Well I did the thing again where I forgot to make a new lounge around 500 comments. I really want y’all to get on me about this. It’s important to you which makes it important to me. Here’s the old one for good measure.
Trade season is essentally the next 32 days. We’ll see what happens, if anything. I cannot earnestly believe that the Dallas Mavericks will be able to trade anything Davis for what they want. He’s an aging big with a very bad contract managed by an agency group that is stubborn as mules
(which is what they should be). That Rich Paul is pushing an extension so hard speaks to AD’s lack of value, in my opinion, because if he were that valuable, Paul wouldn’t have to market it so hard.
Then there’s Gafford, probably the most affordable player to move. Dallas getting something in terms of a younger player might be interesting, but I don’t have high hopes there either. Klay Thompson needs to let it be known about what he wants and then Dallas should do that for him. And if that means staying, that’s fine too! Naji Marshall should net something on the market and he’ll be due for a nice pay raise after this contract.
The whole of the Dallas roster with the exception of Cooper Flagg should be up for discussion. Dallas has done something by the trade deadline for 7 or 8 straight years. This year won’t be any different, it’s simply a matter of what that will be.
