MAVS NEWS:

[SleepingHero]

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.

AD is Nico's guy and he isn't going anywhere. 

But with that said, a fun thought experiment entered my mind regarding the Spurs+Giannis. Given the Spurs interest in Giannis, and Giannis may not actually be on the market, could they consider AD as a viable backup plan?  AD isn't that far off from Giannis. He isn't as good, but he also won't cost the entire farm.

Would a deal centered around Fox+#14+2027 ATL unprotected pick make anyone excited? Fox instantly comes in and plays PG. PJ slides back to his natural position at the 4. We keep the Gafford+Lively tandem. And we get a whole lot younger too.  

Again no way Nico actually trades his guy. But still food for thought.
