Ha...we still got weeks until free agency starts so he will have plenty of time to throw out every possible trade out there, so in time when we sign Danny Green and sign and trade Pat Beverly he can say "you heard it here first on DB.com"

Sources tell me the Mavs are going for something BIG this offseason... Big fishing perhaps? I'm sure you've all heard the news that Damian Lillard is suddenly unhappy in Portland. If you've been keeping up with our fantastic reporters here at db.com you'd have already known this by now and the certain Mavs angle that we covered here (*insert link to a donut article about 12 dame to DAL trade ideas).
Well what if I said the Mavs are going for more? Yes I mean Damian Lillard AND Kawhi Leonard!
*End Scene*
OK anyways, is that even possible? Lets get as pipe dreamy as we can here. Lets say the Mavs pull it off somehow and get Dame. Is there a scenario where the Mavs can carve out Kawhi space?
Forgot to say EXCLUSIVE multiple times

I think the Spurs have shown interest in KP in the past. You could simply S&T KP for DeRozan. Then you have ~40 in space. You could possibly sign Lowry and Holmes. You would have the crazy starting lineup Holmes/DeRozan/DFS/Luka/Lowry. The bench would be Powell/Maxi/Green/Burke/Brunson, and you would have a couple of exceptions to improve that. Probably more likely than the crazy Dame theories.

Yuck. No thanks. And you are spot on that He's been playing that game forever.

I believe there was a conversation on Discord about the possibility of DSJ coming back before Rick quit. I like it even more now with Kidd.
I thought DSJ really showed some maturity asking to go to the G league to play and work on his game. I think he finally learned he has to put the work in and he looked really solid in Detroit at times to end the year.
Sign me up big time.

DSJ still has promise somewhere as a project. He can't shoot which is a problem in the NBA. Mavs don't have any room for more projects. We have our hands full with Green and Terry both getting NBA paychecks. Everyone else on the active roster needs to be able to play a role on the team.

How about Cameron Payne? You know, the guy we could have likely gotten a lot cheaper coming out of the Legends.

Not really. His only strength is athelticism. His BBall IQ is very low, he is not a good shooter and he is not a lock down defender. So far in his career he didn't improve any of his weaknesses while his athleticism is burdened by constant injuries. If I would be looking for a bad offensive player but excellent defender I would choose a proven reclamation project like Ntilikina or Dunn. If I would be looking for a good offensive guy but average defender I already have Brunson or even Terry. I just don't think there is place for DSJ on a contender. At this stage I would rather take a flier on a 2nd round pick or a limited vet from Europe who can play.

I'm all for any athletic guard. So if I had seen a former lottery pick that had a solid rookie and 2nd year but has bounced around of late and has struggled, I'd be interested in that athletic guard. Sort of the same logic why I'm interested in Zach Collins.
He's going to be super cheap for sure. We need to upgrade our athleticism at the guard position.
I'm always in on reclamation projects tho sooooooo

I like Fish and it makes me sad to see him roasted here. I’m not complaining. And I do see the humor. But I like the guy, and I enjoy his stuff.

I like fish and do not like it roasted. Seriously, it is for entertainment purposes and sometimes they have some decent ideas. Seems like Stein or Woj break the "real" news.
