Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

He can't beat anyone off the dribble or penetrate off pick and roll to create offense for others.  He's a good distributor if your primary offensive creator has already created an imbalance on the defense.  I actually like his fit here playing next to Kyrie.  As a Kyrie replacement, not so much.  Brandon Williams and Dinwiddie are probably more dynamic off the dribble than Lonzo Ball at this stage in his career.  

As this team is currently constructed, it's gonna be a whole lot of throw the ball to AD in the mid post and hope he turns into Dirk.  They desperately need a dynamic guard that can create offense.  I'd rather have a worse/one dimensional player like Colin Sexton.  I think you guys are SEVERELY underestimating how badly the Mavs are going to be hurting for offense with Kyrie out.

I don't mind Colin Sexton but he costs 8 mil more and Utah probably HATES Nico as a whole.

I mean Danny Ainge must have a vendetta for Nico. He stole their Flagg capture and the lotto odds pushed them to 5th, outside the cream of the crop prospects. 

Not only that, but Nico involved Ainge in the Luka trade without his knowledge. The same type of trade Utah would've been LUSTING for given they've stockpiled all their assets for years preparing for such an opportunity. 

It just doesn't seem realistic. 

If the Mavs could just choose Sexton on a TX-MLE deal, then sure. But I don't see how the Mavs currently could afford to grab him without severely overpaying
