It is safe to assume the LAC pick will likely be off the table, which means trading him for a late first in 2027 OR trying to get our 2028 pick back. Christie is an OK player, but if someone will give up a first for him I have no problem sending him out.
You are going to find a player as good as Max in next years mid to late draft??
Odds say no. Especially with same immediate impact. The idea of a pick makes so many people go into grass is greener mode.
Any deal the Mavs make needs to favor the Mavs. Which means if someone thinks Max makes them a contender then pay up.
Mavs are on a 24 month timeline to the finals. This idea that they are 4-5 years away is fan’s speak.
