I wouldn't mind swapping our 2025 for Indy's 2028 (and maybe our 2028 second back as they have three that year). That way we can send out 3 future firsts again if the need were to arise. Obi for Grimes helps with size and hurts on D. As good as Grimes has been this season, Obi has been just as good and he and PJ give you very switchable bigs if you decide to go small in the playoffs. Maxi gives you that too, but Obi also has a post game, can drive against a close-out and takes and hits (this season) his 3's. I wouldn't mind this in the grand scheme of things when the future financials and a possible swap of picks is also included. But, I liked it much better when we were talking about Maxi/Hardy/2025 than I do including Grimes.
I have been thinking about our 2025 first. I would be fine with several directions: Taking a player; trading the pick and Maxi to clear out space to sign a FA (if possible), or as you mention trading that pick for a future pick. This would help us acquire more assets for future us. This could also be true for the Philly second round pick too. Second round picks tend to be passed around for peanuts, but the Mavs lack second round picks in the future. Could they pick up two for the future?
