Kyrie has a player option this summer - he's going to get paid. They have the Grimes thing to deal with this summer, also. Gafford, Kleber and PJW all have contractual question marks coming in the near future, and all of this lives in the shadow of the coming Luka contract extension, which will be CRAZY.
I can´t see it either. The only realistically tradeable pieces are Kleber/Klay. Unless there is a major fallout/trade demand by Klay, I don´t see the Mavs proactively shopping him due to the bad optics and Kleber by himself is not an easy trade upgrade.
The most realistic outcome for me at the moment is that we play it out with the current roster. Then it´s hard to say what our super-rich owners do in the summer.
I´d expect a decision between Klay and Grimes. At the moment it´s an easy one, but who knows what happens in the play-offs.
