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

[Mavs2021]

Agh… the Jrue Holiday trade is going to be ugly. The more I think about it, that’s 100% what Nico is going to do. The name of it all. The defense first stuff. It’s happening.

I don’t think there’s any way the C’s are sending picks to the Mavs in any Jrue trade. Something that I think could happen:

Mavs: Holiday, Pick #22 via ATL
ATL: Gafford
BOS: Naji, Martin

The Mavs can take a stab at a young PG like Walter Clayton Jr. or Tyrese Proctor, which completes the rumor of wanting to get into the late first... Sign Kai Jones and/or Exum.

Jrue | B-Will | (Pick 22 - WCJ/Proctor)
Klay | Exum* | Hardy
Flagg | Christie
PJW | (AD) - Omax
AD | Lively | Kai Jones* | Powell (Vet Cheerleader)

Kyrie -Out
*VetMin

Absolutely NOT what I would do, just think this is what will happen.

That´s a reasonable trade. No way that happens. I think you have to put on the Nico goggles before you construct any trade offers. I think PJ Washington, the Mavs 2025 1st round pick and the mandatory 2nd round pick have to be included. You can figure out the rest from there. 

Never assume Nico wouldn´t lose the trade badly untily you hear the Mavs have hired a new GM consultant on the Lindsey level. Everything Nico has done outside the Lindsey window has been completely idiotic from McGee to Grimes.
