I mean if you get blown away by an offer I guess you have to, but he would not be on my radar at all to move. Naji has fit questions, timeline questions and his value may be peaking. He makes more sense if you like whats coming back.
The only way i'd do it is trade for an equally valuable guy that may fit better. Like a 22/23 year old ball handler vs a shooter like Max. But we need shooting too.
But this rumor, if true, seems like its other teams interested to see if they would part with him. Mavs may be trying to be smart and get value while its at the greatest point. its possible they think he's reached his ceiling. This he is what he is. He does have that player option after next year that could complicate the long term fit if they dont value him at what he would demand on the open market.
