Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

These are the names I’d keep an eye on:

Avdija 15.6M
DFS 14.9M
B. Portis 12.6M
Thybulle 11.0M

Nico keeps after his targets. These guys still fill a perceived need and their current salary makes a trade more manageable.

I don't think Portis belongs on the list, but I could see the others. 

The only one I, personally, would be excited about is DFS. Portis obviously helps, but I don't think he's available (at least not to a team like the Mavs). I like Avdija, but I don't think there's room for him here anymore, and I don't think you get much from him you're not already getting from Marshall. I guess it's debatable which of those two you'd rather have (Avdija or Marshall), but I'd lean towards the guy who's already here, already fits, and playing better and better (with THIS team) on a consistently upward trajectory. 

I have just as little interest in Thybulle as I did when they offered that contract, and consider Portland matching a notch on the "Mavs got saved from themselves" list.
