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

[Chicagojk]

Gaff and Kyrie make too much money and simply won’t be relevant when this team is viable again in 2-3 years.  I’m not talking about this summer’s FA class necessarily.  Could be the next one. Dump Klay too.  Start over. Don’t trust anyone over age 25.  And, most importantly, ty out of the tax and aprons. That’s priority one.

I would not be upset if they moved off Kyrie in time.  I don’t think that is the plan now.

Gaff, pJ, Marshall are good players on good contracts.  No need to dump them.  Mavs need to win next year and can’t dump good players just to get off of them.  I suspect some will be moved for better fitting parts but no need to align all your players up in the same age range imo. With today’s cap it is very hard to keep a roster together for an extended run.  Think about it in 3 year runs.  If cooper stays in Dallas, he may have 4 different rosters built around him.

I understand wanting to break everything down but depending where they land in the draft, drastic measures may not be needed.
