Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[Chicagojk]

The Nuggets would have to add more than #26 to take on Braun. I'd put him in the top 10 worst contracts in the league because it's not only way above his value (he should be getting MLE money), but it's longterm. If he got here and didn't work out, that would be an albatross. 

I'm much more interested in Zeke Nnaji + #26 for #48.

I don't know if Nnaji will get them to give up 26.   Nor would I take 26 while giving up 30 for two years of Nnaji.    Although these are the types of deals the Mavs need to explore.   Teams may not want to pay this, but Mavs can stay patient.    Don't help a team out unless you are getting something you really want.   At some point you may find something you like.   Might take a lot of work and patience.
