We have now beaten two of the five worst teams in the league. AD predictably is hurt, which might not even hurt the team much if Lively/Gafford are healthy, but it is time to f*** of Nico IMMEDIATELY. His f***** up vision is dead.
It´s time to get a new NBA proven GM to fix this mess.
1. FIRE the whole medical staff. They are a mess.
2. Carefully guide AD to the trade deadline and trade him for a projected lottery pick this year and expiring contracts. Not even sure how to pick that low-hanging fruit.
3. Trade Klay and Russell to the Rockets for FVV´s player option + two 2nd round picks.
4. Full focus on the Flagg/Washington/Lively core.
5. TANK. That´s where they´ll end up anyway, even trying to win this year.
This is literally the only way forward.
If they keep this team as it stands wit the people in charge, they´ll have to win the lottery again. Otherwise given the remaining assets and the level of skills shown by the organization, Flagg´s Mavs career will be dead already.
EDIT: Some of these AD discord trade value discussions are mental. If somebody offered Duren, Ivey and Thompson for AD, 29 GMs would give up their left hand to do that deal. Even the GMs that are left-handed. Only Nico would not.
