Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

Isn't there an elephant in the room in what you're posting here? 

if you get a guy like Grant, does that make PJ expendable? 

I would consider moving off of PJ to get Grant, yes. Not sure I'd do it, because PJ was really good on one end and I have a lot of confidence that he'll be much better on the other after a training camp. But, he's not going to be Jerami Grant on offense anytime soon. 

I'd wager the Mavs are looking at upgrading PJ at least somewhat seriously, otherwise they'd have never been linked to Grant this summer at all. 

THAT would officially be risky, but I can argue it's the right move if I try. I'd hate to lose PJ though. I'd have no problems, whatsoever, asking him to come off the bench. 

My ideal scenario would be adding Grant to Grimes AND Jones Jr. I know it is the longest of shots, but not as much of a long shot as trading for Kevin Durant or something like that. Maybe DJJ takes enough less to get the guy here? Idk...probably a waste of time to hope, but that's where I am. 

I'd also be thrilled with DFS or Cam Johnson, so long as 2031 is not involved. 

Then again, I'd also be thrilled with the Grimes trade, re-signing DJJ and calling it a summer, truth be told. These are good times for Mavs fans.
