Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Smitty]

We have to consider roster considerations. Mavs need to carry 14 guys AND stay under the 1st apron. We can't just throw guys into trades anymore. 

Mavs have about vet min room if they send out Hardy and Green for Avdija (and keeping THJ). But that's cutting it close.

Huh? THJ is outgoing for Grimes in that scenario (all the rumors from today) . I didn’t add the whole 15-man roster in that post, but if you need a visual. All very legal and doable…

Luka | Exum | VetMin*
Kai | Grimes | Lawson
Deni | DJJ | Omax
PJW | Maxi | Morris
Lively | Gafford | Powell


THJ + pick(s) for Grimes
Green + Hardy + picks(s) for Deni
Re-sign DJJ up to full NTMLE

We can all argue about what the picks are. Maybe it’s 2 SRP’s to DET and 2 FRP’s to WAS. Don’t really care about that argument, just that I think something like the above is a realistic possibility.
