Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Scott41theMavs]

I would be more than happy to take a low cost gamble on Scoot, but I'm not sure this FO is interested.  As I think somebody on here pointed out, Schmitz made it his primary goal to get Avdija and hand him the keys while Scoot was on the roster.  That does not seem like a ringing endorsement.

He’s pretty much the last young player who would fit. Like I said, Mathurin is unlikely. In contradiction to KL, if it ain’t one of those two, then Occam’s razor points like a catastrophic avalanche towards that the plan is to cut Klay, sign Seva to a 2-way, and roll with the current roster.

That, or they trade for yet another forward.

Or, their target is some young guard out there who has not been mentioned by anyone on this board. And with the “no smoke for M&M” rule, we can speculate, but no one really knows but them.
