Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Jason Terry]

This is kind of alarming to me, personally. Looking at the Washington salaries, I could make an argument that Advija might be the guy they're least likely to want to move at this time. He's the only player to whom they've made any real long term commitment. If not him...

Shamet? I don't really know if Washington can absorb the difference in THJ's salary, rules wise, but if that's possible the Mavs gain some money there, which is good. But, he's a pretty "meh" guy to me, and the contract lasts two more years. This would be underwhelming for me, personally. 

From there, the possibilities get much scarier. Kuzma has been discussed to death, and none of us on either side are changing our minds anytime soon. I would puke for a week straight and then have to do some soul searching about whether I even wanted to continue with the Mavs during my free time, but sadly, he's not even the worst possibility. 

Surely, the Mavs aren't dumb enough to have any interest in Jordan Poole, right? RIGHT???!!

What if it’s a KP-Hardaway type deal with Avdija-Shamet

We take on their bad contract they would need to attach assets to dump(Shamet). We give them our 2025 pick so they have one in next years draft. The good young player they get is Green. And we get Avdija in return 

This would open some space for DJJ. Find a team willing to absorb the Powell contract and i believe we could pay DJJ his worth
