DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Hypermav]

That Hawks guy has these rumors:

He is hearing the same thing others are about Gordon Hayward. He is looking to opt-out. He is looking to resign or find an SnT deal to Dallas. This one is Boston's to lose. He seems to want to resign but with more years and a less competitive market than 2021.

Dallas has been extremely active and really wants to be a player in the SnT market. The issue is, they don't have much value to offer anyone. They are trying to make it clear, they need to be a player for Giannis. I just don't hear the interest from Giannis side. It's either MIL, GS, LAL, MIA, or TOR. The talk that it's Dallas is just not there. That said, they want to be a player for Kawhi in 2021 as well.

I can believe the Giannis part and Kawhi doesn't want to live in Dallas.   Now to Hayward, if Donnie is begging for a 3rd star and dealing with Ainge?  I hate to see the wreckage.  Only if Hayward's agent has true leverage over Ainge, will that possibly work.  (probably not)

I am not real excited by Hayward anyway.  Has to be better options.  I would rather move up in the draft and take my shot there than Hayward.
