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

[Smitty]

As the roster stands now and what it would look like after the draft:

G Kyrie | (Top-10 FRP) | Nembhard*
G Christie | Klay | Johnson
F Naji | Martin | (MLE/TPE) | Kelly*
F Flagg | PJW | (Late FRP)
C Lively | Gafford | (SRP) | Cisse*

UFA: BWill, Powell, Middleton, Bagley, Branham
* Currently Two-Ways

For me, I don’t like the Naji/Martin spot but the MLE/TPE trade could land a guy. Maybe Gafford for Mathurin solves that and you use the MLE/TPE for a backup Big to Lively? Would need to look at getting something for Naji then…

Alright… If I’m going to play out the “perfect” TDL for the Mavs and use the easiest trades to get there it’s:

Gafford for Mathurin
Naji for Saric+FRP


G Kyrie | (Top-10 FRP) | Nembhard*
G Christie | Klay | Johnson
F Mathurin | Martin | Kelly*
F Flagg | PJW | (SRP)
C Lively | (MLE/TPE) | (Late FRP) | Cisse*
