Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Naji is probably worth 2-3 2nds right now. If his salary doubles I think the Mavs would have to pay to trade him, especially if it's a long term contract. It's tough to find players of his caliber making that much money that aren't seen as negatives.

He is the only trade candidate that falls into the sell high category. Had a solid season but on a hopefully improved Mavs team he probably doesn't get as many opportunities on offense and unless he learns to shoot the fit next to Flagg will always be an issue. From a pure asset management perspective it makes a lot of sense to trade him.
