Lakers own beat reporter said the Mavs and Lakers phone line is permanently disconnected for a good long while. Unless the Lakers give the Mavs Reaves+2031 and an unprotected pick swap in 2032 for Gafford (i.e. an insane overpay and assets that should've been given in the Luka trade), hard to imagine the Mavs being interested
Oh don´t worry. Mavs wíll be re-connect next year, when they tell the Lakers to give them Luka for their 2029 pick back or Mavs just sign him outright in 2028. Their own 2029 pick will be very valuable for them, when their best player is Dalton Knecht.
