After the report today on Aaron Gordon I have a strong suspicion the mavs may have been close to trading for him.
First off Gordon isn’t in the magic long term plans.
AG has been pretty awful this year. His trade value has cratered. And from the sounds of it magic couldn’t get much at all for him.
I think they decided to pull the plug on a deal to try and get some actual value out of him this summer if he turns it around.
Why the mavs tho? Ag is a Duffy guy. Luka and Ag could possibly be a fantastic combo together if AG pnr game holds up under large volume. AG can potentially provide the Dwight Powell role with good 3 pt shooting when he’s going.
But as we know mavs didn’t want to give up young guys. Warriors 2nd is solid but I’m thinking not enough for the magic to pull a deal.
However, Mavs will be able to offer a slightly better pick this summer when they can trade their first. Maybe they even offer the warriors 2nd too.
If the market is as expected, I’m strongly thinking the Mavs will be trading for Gordon this summer barring some other home run going the mavs way.
1st plus Wright and Jackson makes the money work. Mavs still basically have a first round pick with gs.
Mavs replace those guys with a sf or big defensive guard on the full mid level or part of. Crowder, maybe Dunn, RHJ
