Trade & FA 2023-24: Sexton On the Market? | ORL Likes Hartenstein?

[Smitty]

Not the point. I’m talking about Green, Gafford, or even Kleber. Pretty sure you knew that before you took your shot at Hardaway, so I assume that was just to make fun of me. 

I will go ahead and give you what you want and say that yes, I still believe in Hardaway. I would prefer to have him on the team than Green, for example, not because I don’t like green, but because I still value what I believe Hardaway can do, and what he DID do during the first half of this past season.

But, it is beyond obvious that he is on his way out at this point, so there’s just nothing to be gained by discussing it anymore. The obvious point is that Hardaway will be gone, but it’s seeming increasingly likely to me that another of those guys will be gone, too, which was the entire point made, but you knew that, of course.

I just disagree with your point. I’m not picking on you. You’ve said for a week plus that SOMEONE other than, or in addition to, Tim Hardaway Jr is likely to be gone. I don’t see how the Mavs could feel that way with what they’re building or how that could be the logical assumption by any fan. Other than to be different or pessimistic.

If the Mavs traded for Gafford, made it to the Finals (won the finals) how could anyone say that the next move is to trade him to clear space for DJJ?

If the Mavs just extended Josh Green and made it to the Finals (won the finals) how could anyone say that the next move is to trade him to clear space for DJJ?

I think you added Maxi in this group for salary reasons also but how can anyone think the Mavs are willing to trade him and his important role (every team in the NBA is trying to find a Maxi) to clear space for DJJ?

It’s not that those CAN’T happen but your previous post was that one of those things is extremely likely.
