Speaking of draft capital, I find myself in rare agreement with Skin about that. What little they CAN trade now I'd have no issues moving with the goal of being good, personally. The only truly potentially valuable piece of draft capital they have is that future Lakers pick, and I'd try to hold onto THAT, but everything else...swaps, draft night deals, etc, between now and the days they can control their destiny again? I say go for it.

Gafford is gone, I think. That sounds like they're thinking ambitiously at that position, so just in terms of salary structure I think Gafford and/or PJW have to be outgoing. Maybe both.

This summer just got way more fun for me. I'm so stoked to not be totally dead inside regarding the Mavs, finally.


Yes, yes, yes.

They have to upgrade PG and they have PJ, Gafford, draft picks, and matching salaries to do it.  I am excited about who they might target.  Heck, I'd trade for a guy AND sign CP3 if possible.

Honestly I saw all the talk on here the last 72 hours about playing all these guys together and you don't need to make a big addition at PG, and I was thinking am I stupid?  what am i missing?  Cooper Flagg as a rookie and Dante Exum running the offense?  what?
