Really wish we could find a good way to bring the Discord community and this board back together on a platform that suits everyone's needs (a Slack channel would honestly be the best of both worlds).

Shams says the Rockets called the Nets about a Mikal Bridges for Jalen Green W multiple 1st's swap.

Basically got all their own 1sts back, plus pick swaps, AND Jalen Green.

I don't think Jalen Green can be a top 5 SG at his position, but its not like Mikal can be that either.

- dream target Paul George. He still didn't resign with Clippers, which indicates he demands more than they are willing to pay. Any deal would require Clippers to play along (trade or SnT) either taking some of our guys (unlikely) or third team would be needed to take our contracts. George would provide the offense we are looking for in THJ now, combined with very good defense we are looking for with guys like Exum, DJJ or Green. Downside is that he is getting old and his contract will likely be an albatross and he would still cost assets to get. But as a way of optimizing the Kyrie window, there is likely not much better you can get. Mavs would enter a true contender status if they manage to get him. Probably a pipedream, but not totally impossible. George is a player that has the status to demand where he wants to be
- realistic target: Caruso. Elite defender who can move the ball and shoot. Basically a better version of DJJ, Exum or Green. He is not that much better though and not sure how much better the team would be with him. 
- Thybulle. Mavs wanted him in the past. Elite defender, but problem offensively. I would rather keep DJJ and only think about Thybulle if Mavs are unable to resign him.

first i would call on Herb Jones and see what they want.  i'm not giving up the farm but can Josh Green, O-Max and a first get it done.  he is not far away from  being very potent on both ends.  he just needs to work on his dribble game.

Seccond, i would ask about Trey Murphy.  NO has some hefty salaries and Murphy is going into the last year of his rookie deal and will expect an extension this summer.  what do they want for him?

Lastly, Naji Marshall is a free agent and i would be suprised if they kept him.  he is a solid 3pt shooter a good defender and an agitator.  he is a dog that would help turn up the temperature of this team in a good way.  he will probably sign for MLE or less.  with the mavs assets he might be one of my first calls this offseason.
