2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

Maxi should have the most value to other teams. Lots of them could use a 3&D big plus he's expiring. If he's outgoing though, I think that means the Mavs have to get back a proven volume 3pt shooter like Turner or Wood to maintain the 5 out matchup versatility.

I'm not sure I would call Turner a proven volume 3 shooter.  He has shot well under NBA average from 3 for the last three seasons.  

Our biggest issue right now is interior defense and Maxi is our best interior defender (by a lot).  If we send him out in a trade its his defense that we will most need to replace.  I think if we swap wood for Maxi we would still have significant interior defensive issues.

I'm not sure what Maxi market value is other than expiring.  He had his worst shooting season since his rookie year, is going to be 31 and has struggled with injuries.  Personally I think he is more important to us than we could get in a trade.
