Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[cow]

IMO doesn't work, because it doesn't solve anything for Mavs. Mavs only have < 3M in space to offer, and DEN will be looking for way more while Mavs won't want to go into tax land for Braun of all people. And it doesn't solve the need to gain another roster space at all -- in fact, makes it harder because the bailout move of waiving Klay is replaced by massive money owed.

Financials aside, and that's huge, it does fill a hole at the guard spot which is sorely needed so it would solve something for the Mavs but you'd probably need to involve other teams to get around the challenges you mentioned.
