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

[Nowitzki Way]

My only hesitation about throwing Marshall into a deal like this is concern that it wouldn't be maximizing his value. If he's the sweetener that gets that one extra great pick, or that one extra intriguing young guy, then sure. But, as people have pointed out, he's a good player who plays both sides of the floor and is on a tremendous value contract. He's a great asset, and I wonder if a better deal can be had on a smaller scale just trading him to a team looking for exactly what he brings to the table.

This.  Great point. Marshall can be such a valuable piece for a contender. He's the exact type of player you trade for at the deadline when you need that last little piece. He wouldn't interrupt a system because he doesn't demand touches or points. He just makes plays on the court. A good defender. Not a great offensive player but gets buckets his own way. He helps so much around the edges. He's the perfect 7th or 8th guy in a playoff rotation.  Maybe a starter on the right team.

I look at the playoff teams this year and i see teams that could use him. What would a deal look like? Would you want a younger player with upside or pick(s)? 

Would you want Jaden Ivey for Marshall if Detroit was interested? 


What about to Golden State or Denver for a pick?

I still think him being packaged with AD could be the move if it gets you the best pick from a team like Atlanta.
