MAVS NEWS:

[Kidnova]

They didn’t have a robust market when the Mavs traded for them. Why would they have a robust market now? Unless you’re a contender, they’re not the kind of player you give up real assets for. They’re not good enough to elevate your team unless you already have a couple of great players.  They may not be huge salary guys, but they’re still too expensive in the very near future to roster if you don’t already have great players. I’d expect the Mavs to get about 75% of what they gave up for them.  They were perfect mid salary guys for the Mavs to surround Luka with, but their success was more about Luka than them. Maybe the Mavs could get a decent asset from LA.

Who said there wasn't a strong market for PJ?  You keep seeming to imply that the Mavs gave up nothing for PJ Washington, but they did in fact give up a decent player in Williams (even if he didn't fit here), plus an effectively unprotected first round pick to get him.  Nico is incompetent, so perhaps he just woefully overpaid, but the return would imply to me that there were other suitors for PJ as well.  No, I don't think they're going to get a king's ransom for him, but I feel like he'd bring back a pretty good return, likely similar to what they gave up for him.
