As for Davis …

There doesn't seem to be much of a market for him at this juncture of Trade Season. Davis also missed his 16th game of the season on Monday night at Utah; he's played in 11.

The teams most interested to date, according to league sources, are Toronto and Atlanta. Beyond the well-known fact that the Hawks have zero intention to make the 2026 first-round pick coming their way from New Orleans available, I'm not hearing much optimism at the moment that Atlanta can get anywhere near a package that would tempt Dallas. The Hawks can really only make a credible bid for a high-salaried player by parting with Trae Young or Kristaps Porziņģis. On top of the ongoing uncertainty regarding Porziņģis' battle with illness, I don't see Young as a target for the Mavericks. Not when they remain committed to Kyrie Irving.

Sources say Dallas, furthermore, is not at all interested in just shedding Davis' contract, which is essentially the same deal as Antetokounmpo's in Milwaukee. The Mavericks have maintained to date that they would only be willing to part with the centerpiece of their infamous Doncić deal last February if the trade brings back a return of real consequence.

Don’t know much about Risacher honestly. Raptors have all their picks, but this year is gonna be in the 20’s and may be there for the next few years.

Getting 2 chances at a top 4 pick (with one of them at a 52% chance), is probably the best possible scenario. Plus, if the Bucks continue to fall, that Pelicans swap reads as: ATL gets the best choice between both the Pelicans AND Bucks pick. So if the Bucks jump in the lotto then that's another chance at a top 4 pick.

I get the idea that draft picks don't always turn out and that AD is good right now, but imagine pairing Cooper with AJ AND Darryn Peterson?

Rissacher is just icing on that cake.

AD to ATL for those Rissacher+that pick is my dream realistic trade currently.

The timeline is reset. We'd have 3-4 premier talents all on their rookie deals.

That doesnt doesnt count what we could get if sell off older pieces such as Kyrie, Klay, P.J., Gafford, Naji, etc.  If we can trade AD for Risascher and that Pelicans pick. I say we start the hard rebuild.  Maybe keep Kyrie and P.J. for veteran leadership, etc. But the rest need to go.

Maybe that lands them another great young player just outside of the Dybantsa/Peterson/Boozer tier.
