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

[Chicagojk]

If I'm the Mavericks considering what I would like to see from the team in the next few months, I'm not sure that's the trade I need now. Things have changed in the last month, and maybe Kyrie is close to returning. So is Coby the new PG? For how long? Maybe he replaces Klay as the other guard, but Coby isn't shooting the 3 ball worth a crap now, so he doesn't answer our perimeter shooting problem. Nembhard and Williams look adequate for now at PG, and Nembie is probably a better PG than White overall. 

And if you're wanting to see the best version of the Mavericks soon, it wouldn't hurt to have Gafford coming off the bench if he's healthy. 

At this point in the season, I feel less attracted to White and slightly more protective of Gafford. That trade doesn't really do it for me anymore.

I don't have issue with what you are saying and I may actually agree with it.    

I don't view White as a point guard.  He is a scorer.   I would need to watch him more closely too.   I am not a big fan of the empty calorie scorers...especially as we are building around Flagg.  I think you need more well rounded players.  Not saying White isn't but I would need to get a better view.    I would actually view him as a combo with Max at the 2.  Although now with Marshall starting...I have no idea.
