Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[F Gump]

For whatever reason I can't get into the Discord. It tries to get me to prove I'm me, but then the verification link, over and over again is bad.

Anyway, the guys over there are saying, generally speaking, that if the Mavs do a deal that puts us at 15 guys on roster and want to sign Cisse to the full roster (they are presuming Gafford is gone, which would make Cisse sine qua non rather than redundant), the Mavs should cut Nembhard and keep Klay at least until the deadline instead of waiving him. Uh, how about neither? Surely there is a team *now* who would accept Klay in trade for a second or two. We have acquired a bunch of shooters (presuming our moves actually end up happening...), but are currently relying on Sasser (hopefully) and Sergio to backup the "non-PG" Kyrie. That's a little thin for a platoon, whereas it works more or less with Nembhard in there. Priorities.

I think there's a significant likelihood Cisse ends up as a 2-way, rather than using up a roster slot. 

While I've been waiting for a trade for a PG, I wonder if MMM share that concern. Their current PG lineup as I see it looks fairly full, and with a variety of strengths to pick from:
Kyrie, DeLarrea, Sasser, Nemby -- and with Flagg also chipping in more creation from a F slot

While we think they need more, it's possible they see Kyrie as their star PG, with DeLarrea and Nemby as the future guys to develop, and the position already sufficiently manned.

As for Klay, I'm not sure if SG is their weakest/thinnest position (Max, Klay, Tarik) or not. Any one of those guys might bloom - or none of them might be the answer. It's hard to know.
