Man, good to be back here. I couldn’t get excited about the Mavs again until yesterday!
Like the Bulls and Charlotte deals. I don’t have any interest in Ball though.
Full disclosure that I am terrible at trade scenarios but I keep coming back to Boston. In the past they thrived with an active big (KP/Horford). They are missing that component now and picked up Simons when offloading Holiday whom they tried to ship back out but couldn’t. Would they be interested in something like this:
Mavs receives: Derrick White and Anfernee Simons + 2026 FRP + 2027 FRP
Boston Receives: AD
White is having a bad start to the year and no one wants Simons on his contract. Dallas hopes White returns to previous form but the primary get would be another top pick this year in a strong draft.
Boston then has a big 3 of Tatum/Brown/AD for the next few years which would be a formidable crew.
Am I crazy? Would Boston do this? Is this a good enough return for the Mavs?
