"Executives around the league have poked around to see whether Dallas would part with either center Daniel Gafford or Dereck Lively, but that has been met with initial resistance for now."
Per Michael Scotto.
Usually Scotto isn't super plugged in with the Mavs. Which is why I find this rumor from him is framed coming from other executives POVs, and essentially he's saying the Mavs are telling teams to F off, Gafford and Lively are here to stay.
I am with Scott and Pod here too. This is one of the first times ever in Mavs history where I think any potential trade would hurt more than help. The only guys on my list I'm fine trading is Hardy.
hi
Maxi, for all of his flaws, is such a unique defensive piece. Is he always injured? Sure. Can he barely score? Sure. I don't really care. He can guard 1-5 even at his age. Plus the chemistry aspect. Maxi fits very well into this locker room. Nico seems to prioritize the personalities of people moreso than the actual talent.
IF Hardy can be traded this year, which I don't believe he can due to rookie extension rules, then I'd be all for seeing what we could get for him. Although his modest deal means we aren't getting much back.
