If I am not getting an offer that I really like, I am keeping him. I get the timelines do not match with Cooper but AD should have more solid years ahead of him.
Mavs get a top 8 pick or better and I really don’t care what they do with AD. I would be in no hurry to move him…especially at a discount rate.

He has one more season beside this one with another year player option that he will decline. Which means he will demand an extension in the summer, or a trade for a team that will give him one.
So, the idea here, is that this is a package that affects his value, for both the Mavs and any team that trade for him.
Mavs can't afford to lose AD for free in 2027, and you have to ask whether or not you should renew him. A 2 year extension will mean he will be 36 at the end of it, and soon.
