Whatever the Mavs do, for Cooper's sake, I will hope that the front office does not trade Anthony Davis for De'Aaron Fox. Fox's contract is way too high and too long for what he provides! He is owed $61,752,000 in 2029-30... can we call it a boat anchor of a contract?
Besides, Fox will hurt the tank (as will Kyrie). The Mavs need to tank all the way and patiently for at least 2-3 seasons (not half-way and wanting immediate gratification), if the goal is to properly build around Cooper. Cooper is still only 18, there is time enough to do it right and surround him with a high quality core that is close to his age, just like the Thunder did with SGA.
