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

[Ghost of Podkolzin]

If you can find a BETTER guard than Sexton to target, I'm all for it.

But, bending over backwards to keep insanely deep front court depth on the roster just because you're scared of some injuries seems insane to me when you're in a situation WHEN HEALTHY where you OBVIOUSLY don't have enough at other positions. Like, maybe AD gets hurt, and maybe Lively misses time. And yes, if they both miss time at the same time, you're going to feel that. But, they don't have starting guards RIGHT NOW, as healthy as they can possibly be IN TRAINING CAMP.

That's not a roster situation that works.

Sorry, everyone, but either Gafford or PJW has to go. Maybe both. That's just where it is. Yes, they're good players, but the guys playing ahead of them AT THEIR POSTIONS are better.

I agree there's a logjam in the frontcourt and a total need in the backcourt.  I would flip the priority you have though.  AD is the most redundant and still has tremendous value.

IMO, the Mavs aren't going to bring in any defensive matadors like Sexton or Simons.  Yes, a PG, but one who plays both ends of the court.
