“If you put Anthony Davis on the open market right now he’s fetching you four or five first-round picks right now.”

The Pelicans pick would be the return, not KO

From a talent standpoint I think you would keep him. Because what would we even get in a trade? A fringe starter and a couple meh, non-lottery picks?
At his best, he is so much better than anything we could get in a trade. Just an issue of ever seeing that version of him.

But from the mental side, it might be best to take what we can get and put the stink of that trade behind us. Establish fully that this is Cooper's team

Not perfect but not bad...

"Heat Receive: Anthony Davis

Mavs Receive: Herro, Fontecchio, Ware, 2029 1st"

Maybe I'm lower on Davis than I should be but that doesn't seem realistic to me as an option

What about a deal centered around Gafford and Sexton.  Straight up it feels light for Dallas. A first added by Charlotte seems too much. 

klay for an expiring and seconds?

It gives us assurance in case we fail to buil a competitive team next season, while Charlotte might keep our pick if things went well and we are in the playoffs.
