I'm definitely tired of the AD experience and I'm willing to move on asap but still not a good reason to give him away just for sake of it, I mean I'd rather keep Davis if the only alternative is eating Trae's contract without a premium pick attached.
Agree with this. I don't want Trae coming back unless we can reroute him as part of the trade or we get the NOP pick. But AD is more valuable to Atlanta now than he will be in the summer when he can't help the current team make a playoff run. The same goes for any of the other teams interested in him, and I am not sure the offseason is going to make it any easier for them. Golden State still has to give up Green or Butler for example.
In my original post I said I hope they can get a reasonable offer. I have not said trade him just to trade him. But I don't think the options are likely to be better in the offseason, I think the Mavs extending him would be a disaster and running this roster back with a disgruntled AD doesn't make much sense either.
