I would be willing to bet that the Mavs can't get better than 40+ mil in cap space, a quality young player and a decent first round pick in the summer. I'm not even sure that is on the table now or will be.
For everybody saying Mavs should hold out for the NOP pick, try putting yourself in the other teams shoes. Would anybody honestly be willing to send out that pick to acquire AD? My guess is the answer is no.
The report came out the other day a lot of teams in the East believe they are an AD away from the finals. So I lean more towards teams that are in legit contender status, such as Toronto, is CMB untouchable for them? They have all their future firsts if people are interested in those. Have to bring back some bad money. It’s unfortunate the Hornets haven’t been able to get hot and move into the playoff picture, because they could use AD and have a lot of nice pieces.
