If the Harrison Barnes/Rick Carlisle rumours are true, then Jordan Nwora is the clear odd-man out in Indiana. Just a $3M contract, but remember my theory about international one-man team stars like Markkanen or Hachimura. If you can put up 20 PPG in FIBA with all the defensive focus on you, you can score in the NBA.
Well let me introduce you to the Nigerian version.
Bullock to Indiana
Jalen Smith + Nwora to Dallas
So now we are already here:
Doncic/Morris/
Irving/Hardy/
Green/Nwora/Prosper
Kleber/Smith/
Gafford/Lively/Holmes
Still have the MLE, BAE and our own 2027 pick to improve on this roster.
I would love to find a way to get Nwora in a Mavs uniform. I have loved him as a target for a few years. He has the makings of an elite shooter and good size on the wing. He would be a younger, bigger version of THJ. Not much of a defender at this point, but big enough to compete against wings.
Unfortunately, I think Indiana may have seen enough from him after the trade to want to hang on to him. If Bullock for Nwora/Smith was actually on the table, the Mavs should/would jump all over it.
