Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

[Nowitzki Way]

I want Davis off this team. His fit is terrible for this team. His timeline with Flagg is off. And he's not reliable.

I want to maximize his value while he still has it. But with all of that said. I don't see an in-season trade being advantageous for the Mavs. The off season will open up more teams and more opportunities. We also need Nico far away from this team and not making trades.

Either way, I struggle to find a trade match for him. I don't see many teams that can match his salary with good young players we want, plus the picks. I think i'd be open to a trade of a star for star trade involving Davis. If Giannis wanted out. That would be the only way.

For an in-season trade. Maybe if San Antonio stays hot and thinks that Davis next to Wemby is the key to putting them over the top. And if healthy, he could.

I know Barnes and Olynk have been mentioned to help fil salary and they are expiring. But what else can we get. I'm assuming Castle and Harper are off limits. Does Fox become expendable? We'd have to get Carter Bryant added for youth. Can we pry Vassell or Sochan in this. I feel like the Spurs could be the team. But others who are smarter could figure out legal trades, etc.
