It was crazy impressive that Mavs fans had an impact on the firing of Nico, but it doesn't work that way with owners.  We have seen terrible owners run teams for decades across all sports (including in this city) without the fans having any real say.

His lack of due diligence caused the Mavs to lose a ton of team equity. PD should have to pay whatever "Luka Tax" is necessary to balance out the piss poor trade return. Now, assuming the trade difference to get out of the LT and repeater penalties is negligible, then cool.  But right now Dumont is still in the hole with the team and fan base.

Quote:Rich Paul, who represents Anthony Davis, has made it clear he wants his client to be traded. He believes that's in his best interest. I don't get the sense that A.D. is pounding on the door of the front office and saying 'get me out of here.' The Mavericks are exploring the market. They're being aggressive. They're having those conversations but they're not acting with a sense of urgency. They don't feel like they have to trade A.D. by the deadline. They don't feel like they have to trade him this summer. If Anthony Davis is on the Mavericks' roster to open camp next season, I don't think anybody in Dallas sees that as a major problem

Frankly I could care less what Rich Paul wants.  Find an offer we find acceptable, then we will talk.  Otherwise we will call you if we find anything.

Would be tough to get value from NY, unless they're willing to absorb some bad deals along with Marshall in exchange for Bridges, maybe? I don't see why they'd do that, but all of their expiring contracts are TINY, so it's tough to envision a deal worth doing without a zillion players switching teams, given the Mavs goals of creating spots for CIsse and Nembhard.

San Antonio probably wouldn’t do this but would trade Klay for an expiring and lifting the pick swap in the future?

Yes. Olynyk is the obvious expiring. 

If you trade Gafford to atl for an expiring, would you prefer the Cavs pick or another pick in the future?  I believe the hawks have some picks tied up in the future.

I prefer the ‘27 FRP, but would do the CLE pick also.

Also if Dallas trades for an expiring, can they buyout that player and use the spot for one of their two ways?

Yes

Seems his production as nd small salary make him a good candidate for a 2 or 3 for 1 deal clearing up roster spaces for Cisse and Nembhard.

Wonder what a Naji/Powell/BWill package would yield.

Seems we could yield an expiring and pick from that pack age.

TSN describes the Raptors’ reported interest in Anthony Davis as mostly “wish casting” from Rich Paul, who is working “tirelessly” to get AD traded.

The Raptors have also checked in on Daniel Gafford, another Klutch Sports client.


Per @JakeLFischer
- In recent days, Atlanta, previously described as one of Anthony Davis’ most ardent suitors, have signaled they are no longer involved in significant trade talks with the Mavericks.



Sources have confirmed that the New York Knicks maintain genuine and ongoing interest in acquiring Dallas Mavericks Naji Marshall. While no deal appears imminent at this stage, the Knicks view him as a legitimate target ahead of the upcoming trade deadline.


The Pistons are open to trading Jaden Ivey if a big deal presents itself, per @BrettSiegelNBA
