Kyrie Irving: we already named a city after him!

[Jason Terry]

Dinwiddie and Wood make the most sense. Upgrade Dinwiddie into Kyrie. If Wood won’t sign a new deal we should trade him anyway. If all it takes is something like this then we should do it. This team is going nowhere and this is a low cost shakeup. It lets test out an all star with Luka(something Dirk NEVER got). That alone has some value. 

It doesn’t really hamper us if it doesn’t work out and we don’t extend. We still have all our picks for a trade. If it does work out we’re the immediate favorites of the West. There won’t be many opportunities better than this

With the lack of assets the Clippers have if they are even in the discussion to make a “strong offer” then I’d be surprised if LAL is putting both picks on the table in three team deals. Dallas certainly can better a Clips offer with Dinwiddie/Wood. 

Either that or the Clips report is just to put pressure on LAL

Yeah I can see both being true. 

1) I don't think BKN is going to get much at all for Kyrie. 

2) I bet LAC is being roped into this to create pressure on LAL.

I would rather have Russ and the two LA firsts than Kyrie.  Then send Timmy and the protected first for Collins.

Dirk just got to play with a Hall of Fame point guard, a DPOY, a sixth man of the year, and a four time all star on a talent laden NBA championship team.

I don’t think two LA firsts is on the table for us. A team like Utah has much more desirable pieces to send to Brooklyn that would demand and be deserving of both LA picks. Where the mavs come into play is if LA tries to get the deal done with one FRP. 

Mavs: WB, Lonnie Walker, LAL FRP

Nets: Beverley, Bullock, Wood

Lakers: Irving, Hardaway, Bertans

If we get both picks then probably DFS or Dinwiddie are involved. I don’t think it’s worth it at that point and i don’t think Luka would be happy. So i don’t think we do it

[Jason Terry]

Suns: Kyrie, Simmons, Patty Mills

Nets: CP3, Ayton, Crowder, Shamet

Even match of $. Who says no?

[Mavs2021]

Phoenix.

i don't think we can get him without losing a few future picks. if Nets demand just one pick then i think it's worth a try, low risk investment that may possibly deliver big rewards imho. Dude will hopefully play hard to earn himself another big contract in summer so I think he can make some positive impacts. If it doesn't work out so well, just let him walk. THJ and Bertans ain't guys worth holding on to. Mavs would just give up some expiring trashes plus maybe a decent player in wood who isn't likely going to re-sign anyway.

I don't want to go after Kyrie for a variety of reasons, but if you do it, you go all in.  You are looking to win it all now.  In that case, Din + Wood makes the most sense.  If you are going with the Luka/Kyrie show, then the goal should be to surround those two with as much defense as you can.  You need a center so you send Timmy and a pick for Collins.  You play Green anytime either of them are off the court as the secondary playmaker.  You surround with as much 3&D as you can.  That will probably be the best offense in the league and can probably sneak into the top 10 defensively.

I have been vocally against tearing the team apart for meager assets, but if there is any chance you can get an LA first for Dinwiddie or Dorian, you have to do it.  Those picks will be so valuable.
