I can believe there were none straight up offers that would make Mavs better. What I find difficult to believe is there were no offers that made sense with Wood expiring and FRP. Especially since they gave up 2029 for Kai instead of 2028 pick, which could indicate they were aiming for short term success. Look at Lakers. They had an A+ TDL. Traded the Westbrook contract and a lightly protected FRP for 3 starters. Mavs could easily made same three way deal with Utah:
1. Utah: Russell, Wood, Mavs 2027 pick
2. Minny: Conley
3. Dal: Beasley, Vando
Difficult to claim Utah would prefer the Lakers version. I realise Beasley is just a THJ copy, but he is there just as salary filler and tax saving next season. Vando fits exactly what Mavs need. I am looking forward to see what better deals Mavs will be able to do in the summer.
