Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Knutsen]

See, this, to me, makes it seem like he DOESN'T want to go back to the Clippers. Combined with the earlier nugget you posted, what I'm hearing is "I want to go someplace where I can touch the ball."

But that place wouldn’t be the Mavs then, he wouldn’t get more touches next to Doncic and Irving, would he? 

He would have to make clear that he‘s leaving either to a cap space team or in a sign and trade to us. Then we‘d be in business because some assets are better than none. Reality is he‘ll sign the best possible contract with the Clippers and stay there.
