Yes...thanks for your post. I can't imagine the time and effort that you took to do this. Just like F Gump I agree with parts of it. And I also have no idea if scenarios are legal and viable.
Yes, this post is long one, but after reading multiple team's message boards, studying their ultimate Offseason wishlists and incorporating what the Mavs could and should do, I've created a giant blueprint. Please give it a read and your thoughts and consideration. (Yes, FGump, I've done multiple checks against the cap on this and it seems to check out. That said, if there are slight issues, I can see multiple ways this can be compartmentalized and broken up to be compliant.)....
Besides Flagg--if the Mavs draft him...remember this is Nico Harrisons's team, he's the man!...and I am very worried he will mess up the draft...and trades.
Besides Flagg...I want to keep Lively, Gafford, Max Christie, Naji Marshall, P.J. Washington.
I also want to keep Kyrie Irving if we can get a good deal going forward. He's injured and getting older, but what a team leader he has become. This would be very valuable for a young team.
Because of what they can contribute to the team, and the economics--meaning basically league minimum--I'd like to keep Dante Exum, and...hmmm...not much else. Brandon Williams. Jaden Hardy...maybe. Kai Jones?
The rest are trade bait as far as I'm concerned.
I may have missed an important part of the team. I'm just a fan, not an expert like many of you are. Believe me...I appreciate all the great posts and information. Keep it up!
And Nico Harrison needs to be fired...now.
