CBS Sports - Tearing down the Mavs

Team after they basically traded everyone not named Flagg/PJ/Exum

Starting:

Dejounte Murray/Dennis Schroder/Newbhard/Exum

Cooper Flagg/Kevin Porter/DFS
PJ Washington/Kyle Kuzma
Zeke Nnaji/Bobby Portis/Adem Bona/Cisse

Fred VanVleet and Taurean Prince - injured

Plus following draft capital

27 1st from Cha - Mavs pick back
29 1st swap w/ Pho/Hou most favorable
30 1st swap from Mil
31 1st swap from Denver
32 1st from GS
32 1st swap from Mil

Wow, what is this abomination? Usually the mega shit posts are reserved for the long offseason but I guess it's starting early for the Mavs.
Imo if they trade AD, no reason to move any other big unless another big with hopefully some decent upside can take over the backup role in which Gafford can be moved as well. No reason to trade Lively and definitely not for that trash deal. Lively/Gafford+PJ+Flagg is a great front court.

I think keeping AD is still viable. Ethically tank this year since the '26 draft class has hype that is drawing '03 comparisons, then no reason to not go all in the next few years with AD + healthy Kyrie but we'll see what happens I guess. It's definitely not dump all 3 centers though that just sounds ridiculous. Kuzma, Dejounte, Schroeder, Sexton, Kevin Porter, whoever takes over GM duties should be fired on the spot for that.
