Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

I think this is an overly harsh assessment of that contract.  The shooting is an issue, but honestly he was a better player than PJ or Gafford last season.  He is probably no longer an asset with that contract, but I don't think its a huge negative either.  My concern is more with his fit on the team than the contract.

Yeah the pendulum has swung, pretty violently. Not sure why. 

The 76ers wanted Naji for McCain and a FRP last year when he was an expiring deal. The extra years (and slightly more money) does not mean the Mavs now have to pay a 2nd to move him. 

I think the value is still there. Even if he can't shoot he is a high quality player many teams are looking for at their forward position. If he can shoot, then his deal becomes a steal.
