MacMahon: Mavs to explore trade market for Davis, „plotting to pivot to the future“

[Smitty]

I’ve had similar thoughts.  What do we really need if the lineup is projected to eventually be:

AD/Lively

Flagg/PJ/Naji (getting all of the 3 and 4 minutes)

Christie/Klay

Irving/Nembhard

Is there really a whole there big enough that you trade away your safety net at center (Gafford)?  The outgoing would presumably be Gafford plus the player being replaced.  So, which one needs to be replaced?  I need to figure all of that out before I even start to entertain targets.

The most logical IMO is replacing Naji with someone like L. Ball, C. White, etc., and having Klay overlap more as a Wing and Kyrie as an off-guard.

I guess the ideal player would really be someone like Derrick White, if I’m thinking of ideal fits, and somewhat realistic trade targets.
