Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

wasn't the rumor that they would have taken Wendall Carter jr?  He is a better player than Mo, but about as boring as you can get.  Pretty average as well.

I could just see the reporting years later too....Donnie wanted Doncic but Cuban was unwilling to tie up cap space in a move up.  Rumor has it that Cuban could have kept the future pick if he took salary on.   He decided to trade the next years pick instead.   Imagine if ATL said no unless Dallas took on salary.

To be honest, Carter is sort of my worry about Morez.    Good size and skills.  Probably too small to really play center full time but not good enough to play 4.    Carter has been a solid player but leaves you wanting a lot more.  Hopefully Morez turns into a much more dynamic player.

There were multiple rumors, but the two names most commonly mentioned were Mo and Wendall.

I think its confirmed that Cuban could have taken on bad salary instead of the pick.  I can't remember the player, but he would have actually been useful on the court, just overpriced.  It was stupid, but at least they pulled the trigger on the trade.

I actually like Carter as a player, but I think Morez is a lot more athletic with a higher ceiling.  Like you I hope he turns into more.
