Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

It would be just like Mark Cuban to be stuck several years ago and say, "Oh, yeah, screw DJJ, let's get Klay! So much better on offense and just as good on defense! In 2024!"

But I thought Mark Cuban was no longer making decisions for the Mavs.

All I can say is that shooting really, really was an issue. I think letting Jones go completely over this is an overreaction (would WAY do that for pre-injury Thompson, obviously) but they must REALLY think this is going to help the offense. 

I also think it's a little telling that so many teams are treating him like a premier free agent. Some of it is probably reputation, sure, but I think the league values him more than fans do. 

At least at the numbers we're talking now, we know he won't be impossible to move if it doesn't work out. 

Nothing to do now but wait.
