Showing off to the Dallas brain trust.
On a side note, Onyeka Okongwu didn't play today due to an "illness".
If you're the Mavs, would you want the 20 year old Risacher who is still developing or the 25 year old Okongwu who is having a breakout season averaging 16 points 8 rebounds 3 assists and 1 block. What's impressive is that he's shooting 49 % from the field, 36 % from 3 point land, and 77% from the FT line. I also like his trajectory as he's improved every year that he's been in the league.
AD for expiring contracts (KP and Kennard), young player (Risacher or Okongwu) and draft capital (Atlanta currently has 2 1st round picks in 2026 - New Orleans and Cleveland)
I think Okongwu is the player that I'm targeting
I would probably prefer Okangwu, but it would be surprising if they send out their entire frontcourt rotation for AD. Maybe if they send CJ instead?
