Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Winning is the draw to most fans.  Even if you're not a real contender, a team fighting for the playoffs is a draw.  A team that's giving up on the season in June is not a draw.

You dont think they could reconstruct this roster to compete for .500?  Golden State made the playin last year with a 37-45 record.

One stat that sticks with me from last season's train wreck is that DAL played in 45 "clutch" games, tied for most in the league, finishing 17-28. The top ten includes playoff teams like Houston, Denver, Orlando and Detroit. IF you look at it from win %, then the top ten is all playoff teams. So you have to be able to close out games to be successful in this league.

I'm just saying that, given the problems this team had and the rotation holes due to injury, they were still competitive late in 55% of their games. 

Kyrie, if he stays, is one of the best game finishers around. Flagg made monster strides once he decided to stop deferring to the vets. A little more defense (Lively?) and better offensive balance (FRP?) could improve that W/L significantly. Roster moves are going to happen, but this team should be competitive if healthy.
