NBA Trade Rumors |

[Mavs2019]

Even if Drummond goes for scraps, teams like Atlanta or Boston can offer better scraps than the Mavs.  The debate on fit seems moot because of that.  I also wouldn't trust reporters with ties to high ranking officials.  That could all just be front office smoke and mirror tactics.  That said, I'd take him for peanuts (a package including Bruson, GSW pick and whatever else to make the salaries work). 

Randomness and playing catch up on the trhead:

-A lot of talk about Powell around here of late.  Not sure why he isn't pulling the trigger from three, but he needs to let it fly if teams are going to give him as much space on his top of the key screens.  I can't imagine he gets traded.  The Mavs love him.  Combine his new contract and his regression in play and I can't imagine extracting positive value from him.  Any competent team looking at a trade package from Dallas is going to ask for Maxi instead of Powell.
-Speaking of Maxi, he and DFS are quickly climbing list of players you refuse to trade unless they are getting back the 3rd banana to go alongside Luka and KP.
-Said it in the other trade thread, but we really need another big in the rotation.  I don't hate the Alex Len idea floated in this thread.
-Saw the Bogdanovic mention, I just don't see enough bullets in the clip to land him.

 
A competent FO. Luckily we are dealing with Detroit here.

I agree completely on Maxi and DFS. They are almost unoutchable. We signed them as 3&D players, who couldn´t three. Currently they are shooting 40% and 39% from three on four attempts per game.

If we keep Powell, then finding another serviceable big should not be a problem. You can find them in the draft or free agency < $5M every year.

I assume we talking Bogdan here. Seems the Kings are secretly in self-destruction mode again. Besides the very public Dedmon trade request, it seems Hield is a bit of a diva, too. He´s the owner´s boy, then you got Bogdan, who is Vlade´s boy. Then you have Walton, Bagley and Fox in between all of this. Maybe he´s more available in the summer than we expect.

Also let´s not forget Harry Giles, soon to be 22, who was supposed to be the next KG, if healthy. He becomes an UFA this summer. I see him as a very nice reclamation project for the PF/C position.
