Mavs need to be honest with themselves though. Zach Lowe has said that this team when healthy is good. The question is if it is good or a real contender. That is a big gap. Plus, with the age the window is not long.
I am still not hot and heavy to trade AD. I have not seen one trade that excites me. I am willing to gamble on disaster waiting for a legit offer I find appealing. Whether that is two months or 1.5 years from now if ok to me at the moment.
I learned the sixers have a clippers pick a few years from now and a swap. This is after the next two years going to the Thunder but that intrigues me a bit.
My guess is that you're going to see an AD trade that definitely does not excite you. Or me.
It's really hard to imagine that a new GM is going to see AD as part of the future (or Kyrie for that matter). New GMs frequently have a lot of latitude. Standing pat just doesn't seem like anything the owners might want to hear.
just my 2 cents.
