Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[JBB]

It’s always made the most sense to me. I don’t think there will be a market there in the end. I think a buyout is more likely. Do right by Klay and let him join MIA, CLE, or GS on a minimum. He signed up to compete for championships here. Now he’s a progress stopper for a lot of the young guys they brought in. As a fan, I appreciate and respect Klay’s game and how he’s handled himself, but I’d rather see Sergio, Tarik, Poulakidas get playing time next year than him... That’s just where the Mavs are at right now…

I get wanting to do right by Klay but he's still a shooter (which we need) and should have value at the trade deadline if the current management doesn't feel like the value is there this summer. 

Unless the buyout is 50%+/- then what's the point of the goodwill? Seriously, this is all still a simple point the finger at what Nico did. We need future assets more than goodwill.
