Yeah, that's 35 names, but don't @ me for the maybes - I'm saying I could go either way. And all of the guys with asterisks, the other team is hanging up unless you're offering Luka (hint: you aren't). That leaves 14 guys in the league for whom I would include DFS in a trade for sure. That's it. Conley, CP3, or especially Lowry would be great adds for the Mavs, but given their contracts, nope, you can't have DFS back.
The Brunson list is quite a bit longer (especially after seeing his struggles in this series), ditto Maxi, and the KP list is huuuuuuuge.
Here's mine (by team I think it's easier - I will exclude superstars/all-stars/unrealistic young guys):
Collins, Capela, Bogdanovic, J. Harris, Smart, Bridges, Lavine, A. Gordon, Wood, Brogdon, Turner, Brooks, McCollum, Nurkic, RoCo, VanVleet, Anunoby, D. Murray, D. Vassell. Plus all the unrealistic top 30-40 guys. Basically a top-50/60 player in the league. JB/KP/Maxi are ahead of him on the trade list, I agree.
