Nothing about it made ANY sense to me even if everyone stayed healthy.
Confirmed there was no vision here.
Yeah, I can see a world where Caleb works better on a good team than Grimes. It may be a longshot. No shot if he can't get healthy. But for a team without much shooting, it is just a weird decision.
I thought the KD stuff was overplayed and it will end up being horrible, but for the first time I see a panic move coming. The Mavs have no shot right now..even with a healthy Kyrie. A PJ/Gaff/Martin/Marshall plus pick(s) could be something I could see the Mavs doing. I didn't put Klay in there because I think they value him more than some of those other players. Plus, PHX would have no interest and I can't imagine Klay brings much back in a three way.
I would be the Mavs not trading for KD than trading for him, but for the first time I could see a major panic this offseason. Especially if they continue to look poor as the season ends while being healthy (sans Kyrie).
