Trade & FA 2024-25:

Stein: I do think this will play out today. I've been writing (and hearing) the same thing Friday: Mavericks in a strong position -- some would go so far as to say the best position -- but obviously it is only done when it is done. And I totally get the apprehension because the Mavericks and their fans are used to disappointment in free agency. Klay decided to hear the Lakers out and sleep on the decision and that means everyone has to wait. This is free agency and apparently Klay wanted to experience some of it.
