2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

[DanSchwartzgan]

I still think the Mavs should figure out a way to trade JB....and I know you have made it very clear that is not easy.  But I still think it should be the way to go, especially with the emergence of SD.

And honestly I hope the Mavs ARE tax sensitive, because as you have pointed out it limits your ability to do moves to improve your team. The Mavs are not in a position to be limiting their flexibility with trades right now.

You know who could take Brunson in a deal without the complications others (NY) might have…Detroit.  You know who might have interest in the 3-point shooting of THJ (or Bullock) and still have cap room…Detroit.

I’ll be interested to see who they draft with their top 3/4 pick.  They have a star of the future at SG and the top 3 guys in the draft as I understand it (not an expert) are a C and two PF’s.  I suspect they will build around Cunningham and this pick.  Brunson makes sense as a PG if they pick a big.  Teams with young stars at other positions need someone like Brunson to help those stars develop.  THJ might help their total lack of 3 point shooting and is a home town boy.

This wouldn’t necessarily be about Grant (especially if we are trying to cut salary).  But, Detroit has some other guys like Hayes, H. Diallo, Stewart and Olynyk that I’d be interested in.  I could see Hayes as our developmental PG behind Luka and SD.  I could see Diallo as another wing defender.  Do they need Stewart and Olynyk if they draft a C?  Do they need Grant and Bagley if they draft a PF.  I’ll be keeping a close eye on Detroit’s draft situation as it might give a clue as to where they go once the draft is over.
