Trade & FA 2023-24: 76ers Believe They Have A Shot at PG13

[Scott41theMavs]

I don’t have a particular agenda, other than the fascination of looking back on a really big, high-stakes trade and trying to evaluate who guessed right.

So in the case of AD, yes, I’d have to say the Lakers won.

I think those “all-in” moves are particularly intriguing. If the team guesses right, it can all be worth it. But if wrong, they’re screwed for a long time.

The Mavs went with what seemed to be an all-in move with Kyrie last year - giving up two players they needed and precious longterm draft capital, which is a low price for a significant star but still seen as a major risk at the time - and it came through for them in spades. 

If the Mavs could get yet another star without giving up Luka (duh), Kyrie, PJ, or Lively, it would be huge. Can't think of anyone out there who fits the timeline and would be distressed enough for us to afford like Kyrie was. No Russ Westbrick, please.
