If Davis doesnt fit with this roster i'm ok trading him. But shop him to the highest bidder. What would OKC give up with all of this picks and young players?
Would Houston want to put him next to Sengun? Could you get Eason and/or Whitmore? I know the salary matching could be a problem with a trade like this. But extract value from Davis if you trade him.
If Phoenix had a pick or two to go along with Durant, i'd be open to it.
The problem with trading AD for multiple players is
1 the Mavs already have too many players and not enough roster slots, and trading 1-for-3 or the like only makes that worse.
2 what they really need the most is a high end guy to drive the team, not some rotation regulars (which you have plenty of)
About PHX and picks, I agree that such a deal screams that the Mavs should be getting a pick or two, but I think PHX cupboard is really bare of picks, so not sure where to go from there. I don't think they have a single 1st they could trade, and maybe not any 2nds either.
