Trade & FA 2023-24: HOU Targeting Mikal Bridges again!| Mitchell is LAL #1 Target

[Mavs2021]

It wasn't listed as being part of it. "It would be tough losing Bertans" - that's how Nico ought to talk to Ainge. If they want to give us #16 and #28 for Bertans straight up, why not pull the trigger right now?

Do that plus the Capela and 15 for 10 and THJ, then use 15 and 16 to trade back up to 11-13 range to grab Lively, Coulibaly, Wallace, or whoever has fallen. 

I'm afraid of them doing something stupid, but these two trade rumors don't fall into that category.

I´m sure the #10 pick part is just missing there. I´m still not very interested in those trade down scenarios, until I know who is actually there at #10. If it´s Ausar Thompson, I´m much more interested to trade down. I´m on the fence about Black and Walker. Hendricks I keep. I´m still of the opinion that acquiring an additional pick(s) without trading down is most interesting. The Pacers and Hornets have too many late 1st/early 2nd round picks. Just eat a minor "bad" contract and you might pick between Miller, Sensabaugh and Whitehead if the latest ESPN mock is accurate.

It will be classic Mavericks scenario. Some team will trade for Daniel Theis and receive one of the Pacers picks. Mavs will not be interested, then sign a player on the level of Theis in free agency for the same money.
