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.
I don’t really disagree with anything here. Just pointing out that the list is more of a “Nico target” than my personal wish list. Just like Grimes was a Nico target he kept after. I think one of those names will be the TDL target, with Maxi+ as the salary matching needed.
I’m not as high on DFS as some here but think he’d fit the need and is definitely an upgrade to Maxi, so I’d be on board. Avdija is and has been one of my favorites for a while so he’d be my personal top preference. And it’s not an either/or with Naji. I want both!
