Trade & FA 2024-25:

[Knutsen]

Mavs get: DFS and a couple future 2nds

Nets get: Naji, Powell, Hardy and our 2025 FRP

I like Naji, but he’s shooting 30% from 3. Playoff time that’s a problem. Dorian is more the ideal 3/4 hybrid fit we need

Biggest need generally speaking is perimeter defense. Dorian helps with that too

Give him some time, his three is coming around - maybe he’s the new Reggie Bullock, who also couldn’t shoot at the beginning of the season and then became deadly.

In his last 7 games he hit 14 of 29 threes, which means 2 a game at a 48% clip. 

I like DFS, but Naji is a gamer - when he fully learned how to play off of Luka, Kyrie and Klay he could be our secret sauce to scoring efficiently against the very best defenses of the Celtics, Thunder or Cavs.
