@JWeinbachNBA Unless multiple teams are involved and the Mavs also get off of Caleb Martin and Klay Thompson, and get something of value in return, its not gonna happen. Mavs dont even really have the roster space to take back more players in a deal

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

This is a great move for Dallas

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@NickVanExit Theres no way Masai would rather have Martin on the roster over Cisse. Gotta believe they match it, right? They can have over 15 for the moment now anyway

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

You can move some names around, but this is what the Mavs look like atm. Almost a completely different team

Kyrie
Max
Cooper
PJ
Aldama

De Larrea
Nembhard
Naji
Morez
Tarik Biberovic
Gafford
Lively
Sasser

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@BiasedSlightly They've added Morez, Aldama and Sasser so far. 2 of, if not all 3, should get significant rotation minutes. Add in Dusty May, plus Kyrie coming back and the team should already look quite a bit different this year

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@TheSteinLine Welp, that stinks

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@_LaurenGunn Tbh I agree there's a log jam, but I also feel like PJ is exactly the type of player Masai loves. I dont necessarily think Gaff/Lively are gone either, seeing as Lively may not be ready to play when the season starts. Klay is really the only outlier piece atm imo

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@TheSteinLine @JakeLFischer This would be a huge get for Dallas

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@NationMffl @MavsFilmRoom The Mavs have zero reasons not to try to be as good as possible the next few years. Adding Kawhi for PJ and Klay would make the Mavs contenders imo

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@bobbykaralla It depends on the guy and the picks. If its a starter level (or offensive 6th man type) player via TPE, that fits the team, then id say go that route.

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

That's a huge move for Minnesota

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@MavsFilmRoom Hes jonathan Isaac pre injury, with a higher motor/intensity and more upside offensively

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

There has to be a trade coming for the Mavs

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

The Mavs are gonna have all but one of Burries, Flemings, Ament, Yaxel, Mara, Philon available. I would trade back a cpl spots if there was an advantageous deal there

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@All_Things_Mavs He was my top guy, thats unfortunate

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@BibsCorner @CBAMavs @Sterlofdaworld He also isnt as quick as skinny Luka was

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@BibsCorner @CBAMavs @Sterlofdaworld I think Wagler is going to be a bust. I see a skinny Luka, without the strength or elite elite shot making ability. Its going to be difficult for him to get past guys or create real pressure on opposing defenses

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@BibsCorner @CBAMavs @Sterlofdaworld I think MBJ is gonna be a star, I think Philon is being overlooked. I think Yaxel fits great next to Cooper and his age doesnt bother me at all. Burries is safe. Flemings could have a little something, but I dont love his jumper. Carr I would be good with if the mavs move down

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@BibsCorner @CBAMavs @Sterlofdaworld I want

MBJ
Philon
Yaxel
Burries

I dont want Wagler, Mara, Acuff

I could deal with Flemings

Ament doesnt fit at 9 imo, if the mavs trade back and acquire more picks then sure

[blake gibbs @blakegibbs]

@CBAMavs I 100% will talk myself into Ament AFTER they draft him lol. Until then, hes at the bottom of my list
