Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

Anfernee Simons had deals on the table from Miami and Golden State.

The Warriors were offering him a minimum contract as they wait for word from LeBron James, sources told @ClutchPoints.

Simons wanted nothing less than $6M a year on a new deal, which is exactly what he gets.



For a team that needs Guard help, it stings seeing Simons go for $6m on just a short 2-year deal. Same for Sexton and his $9m/yr for 2 years. What are the Mavs cooking up in the trade market??

I still think it is Mathurin and the Clippers get added to a DET/DAL/MEM/OKC deal to make it five teams.  BTW, the version I had last night had Gafford going to LAC and Mathurin coming to Dallas.  What I didn't realize at the time is Gafford and Klay could both go to LAC in such a deal as they'd be sending out both Collins and Mathurin.  Klay would then be closer to his boat and could visit it on a more regular basis.
