Two realistic trade-ups centered around Ron Holland and the 21st pick that would send Yaxel Lendeborg to Detroit. 👀
1. Trade up with the Mavericks.
Pistons receive: Klay Thompson, 2026 9th pick
Mavs receive: Ron Holland, $8.7 million trade exception (Schroder TPE), 2026 21st pick, 2028 protected 1st round pick.
- Pistons sending two 1sts may seem like a lot in these deals, but both are likely in the 20s. Sending out a protected future 1st is necessary if you think Yaxel is a missing piece to this core reaching the finals. Adding an aging HOF shooter helps with shooting woes. Yaxel ideally fits the roster much better than Ron and gives Tobias insurance.
- Mavericks prioritize athleticism/defense with a young upside prospect with Flagg. Plus they add an additional 1st rounder and relieve around 8 million in cap space sending out Klay. Would they really find a better prospect than Ron Holland at 9 while also passing up the chance to add another first-round pick?
2. Trade up with the Bucks.
Pistons receive: AJ Green, 2026 10th pick
Bucks receive: Ron Holland, Marcus Sasser, 21st pick, and 2028 protected 1st round pick.
- Pistons take advantage of a pending rebuild, add a much needed sniper for Cade to go along with Yax's immediate fit. Huge needs being filled – shooting, PF depth and better fitting roster.
- Bucks land a 21 year old, former #5 pick to continue to develop. They desperately need draft capital and obtaining extra 1st rounders that doesn't include a Giannis trade should be a goal for Milwaukee.
4 things I’d rather do than be a thunder fan:
1. Play hide and go seek w/ Jeffery Dahmer in an abandoned Chucky Cheese
2. Be a Temu parachute tester
3 Stick my D&@k In a blender
4.Lick a port-o-potty toilet seat at Coachella
Yall are some Losers
@SpamMavs Not only that, but seeing the Mavs actually hiring outside of their little family tree has been refreshing. Cuban nepo hired Kidd to keep the 2011 nostalgia alive. He may have been forward thinking early on but the game passed him by quick. Good fucking riddance.
Nobody cares what Cuban thinks, he can fuck off. He hired the bozos who destroyed the Mavs, sold to the evil people who own the team now. Stop asking his opinions
In 2020, we had a guy on from a ballroom in Lithuania, I think it was, who was there to see a 16 year old French kid he swore was unlike anything else on earth. I thought he was nuts.
He was right.
That guy @Mike_Schmitz is now the Mavs GM.
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
Trade Josh Giddey to the Mavs for the 9th pick (Darius Acuff), Dereck Lively’s expiring, and Klay (buyout)
Inject Acuff & Boozer into the lineup. WOW.
