Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Smitty]

Just to add to this:

I suppose you could make the argument that Jrue Holiday is an even more obvious choice to be outgoing, but I think Portland is really trying to be good right now and I believe that they believe his defense will make a difference as part of the obviously ridiculous Lillard/Morant guard rotation. And, I personally wouldn't be that excited about adding him to the Mavericks at this time.

I posted this earlier, but this is the actual trade that makes the most sense for both, IMO.

POR: Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson
DAL: Jrue Holiday
