Yikes.  Super ugly. The Mavs future is ultimately contingent on what they’ll be able to move AD and Kyrie for.  I don’t think they could get much for them, which is embarrassing, especially for AD, since Nico judges him as nearly equal in value to Luka.

I'd agree on Kyrie. He's too risky for another team to give up serious assets for. I think there's a good chance he retires in Dallas. 

AD should still get a great return, even if it looks bad next to the Luka deal. It's critical that they deal him this trade deadline to maximize his value and get a good draft pick for the last time until 2031. Unfortunately Nico won't give serious consideration to that until it's too late.
