If so, surely something must be missing in the reports, since it's not even a legal trade match for DAL (it would throw the Mavs over the hard cap, which is not allowed) and it would prevent them from having either cap space or roster space to sign Nemby to a regular NBA deal.
Personally I can't understand how the Mavs would even want to consider a talent return like that for AD. What I see is 1 guy (Risacher) who looks like an overpaid cap-clogging bust, and 2 expiring filler pieces (KP, Kennard) who would likely be gone in June (so representing no useful talent to put around Flagg). For AD, I would have to think they can do way better.
Look at Haynes video I posted few pages ago. He said Risacher + expiring + draft capital. KP being the most logical expiring. Also no Trae
The difference to make the deal work could be achieved by including another team.
Draft capital is likely the one that is the sticking point here. I think it us the main reason there is no deal, even more than Trae vs KP
