Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

I'm never one for helping the Lakers or letting the Lakers play us so I would give Klay a time frame to take our deal and then pivot to whatever other players Nico might be targeting. Maybe go back to exploring trading for Grant. We are actually a really good team now, much better than the Lakers and we don't need to bend the knee to Klay. He either wants our deal or he doesn't.

I might be wrong, but I think if Grant was actually an option available to the Mavericks for what they can give up, it would’ve been done already. I think that was the true, unannounced plan A. There’s just too much smoke out there about it.
