Trade & FA 2024-25:

[MAVS-SLO]

Honestly when I see this rumor, I think this is a misdirection. Mavs don't really have a realistic way to get Cam Johnson. I mean his fit would be seamless, but it'd take both Gafford+Maxi which just destroys our center depth. Not really sure why they'd do that at all. 

But what this does tell me is that the Mavs have been talking to Brooklyn, and you know what wing fits at the right $ amount, knows the system, and is fine coming off the bench? DFS.

And I don't think he'd go for whatever ludicrous price BRK was spouting earlier.

Exactly.

Collins, Cam Johnson, Jones, Butler and all other names mentioned in media are unrealistic. From the salary perspective to the price other teams would demand.

DFS is not a ''fancy name'' people will go crazy, but he is most realistic and he checks all the boxes we need:

- Available for reasonable price. (Kleber + filler)
- Knows the system, most of the players and coach.
- Good chemistry guy.
- Plays good defense.
- Plays winning basketball.
- Shooting 45% for 3 this season.
- Not injury prone.
- Fine coming of the bench.
- Do his job and do what is demanded from him.
- Luka mentioned many times he would like to play with him again.
