For GS it is Green/Kuminga. Those teams are basically saying we recognize the risk (and upside) that is AD and we are willing to take that risk for stuff we want to get rid of anyway.
The Mav FO is traditionally quiet and I doubt the interim guys are suddenly negotiating through the media. That leaves the agent who recognizes Dallas won't extend AD and a trade doesn't happen unless the offers get better. So it is the agent trying to drum up interest in his guy as a means of getting him to a favorable location.
Question, is any team willing to extend AD right now? I would think that is off the table for anyone interested in an AD trade right? I feel like the extend or trade talk must have come directly from the agent. That are not the only two options for the Mavs. Also probably not great hearing him say he still wants to play PF if you are a trade partner.
