Mavs GM Nico Harrison still has the full mid-level exception at his disposal, will he use it on Grant Williams who has been a Mavs free agent target for a long time?

You do not trade Hardy for Ayton idc
Y’all are saying trade jaden hardy way to easily lol. Probably you’re greatest trade asset, but I’m 2 years he’s going to make a lot of money

We gotta sign and trade wood with hardaway and McGee
Am I the only one against this? Let's put his possible problems in the locker room away as rumors for a second and really think about it based on last years results:
1. He did not fit the scheme of Jason Kidd and Jason possibly never wanted him to begin with that's a fact
2. Going off a tangent here: Are you guys really basing a whole segment on a guy refollowing a franchise on instagram? Judging by that I'll be playing with Damian Lillard next season you better prepare the press releases. Please give your rumors a little bit more of a basis otherwise they are not worth discussing in the first place.
3. Woods biggest issue as far as I know is that his defense is subpar so how does he fit the team needs compared to a guy like Grant Williams? Weren't you guys saying yourself that we needed more defense? What changed within less than 24h?
4. The statline is a little bit misleading as in many games wood either scored out of his mind or not at all, personally speaking I like consistency. If you differ from this opinion don't worry we already got a guy like christian wood in our team his name is Hardaway Jr. and oh yes most Mavericks fans want him gone because he is waaay too streaky for the amount of money he gets.
5. He doesn't fit with Jason Kidds scheme Guys!!! Honestly am I the only person remembering this?
This rumor really seems to exist to look flashy on paper because we got most of the free agency sorted out at this point. Christian Wood didn't play many minutes for a reason and we need to get rid either of Jason Kidd as a coach or him so pick your poison people.
The biggest moves in free agency at this point will be adding great role players like Grant Williams or acquiring Aaron gordon (aside from Dame but we know where he'll be heading) and not acquiring huge contracts for big names that don't fit your team or deliver consistently (Shoutout to Deandre Ayton and James Harden).
10M over 2 years
Kidd goes, keep CWood!
Timmy and Josh can play the 3.
“I’m not playing, I’m just watching “. Kidd goes
Dude , STOP disrespecting this man vet min???? He’s worth the MLE he’s one of the best stretch 4 in the game. He’s a better 4 than 5.
I wouldnt bring back C Wood or sign Beasley. This feels like the Mavericks are waiting on the James Harden and Dame Lillard trades to happen and then they will focus on Grant Williams. Also I wouldnt hate PJ Washington on the Mavericks either. He's a solid 4 for you and can guard pretty decent but I still want Grant Williams.
Name a better stretch 4. Name 5 better stretch 4 than C Wood Go! You maybe able to, but not easy as you think. The disrespect for C Wood is rediculous

I have a serious issue with how players are evaluated by multiple so-called basketball analysts. Kleber, Holmes, and even Powell in a legitimate line up are all 4's that can play the 5 in small ball lineups. Carlisle stunted the growth, and development of Powell! Dallas has 2 legit centers and would be wise to bring in a guy like Mo Bamba to sure things up because McGee is a conundrum. My biggest fear is at the 3 where the only legitimate guy is OMax😢 ..after that every other guy is undersized.
keep wood fire kidd

Stop talking about Christian Wood doesn’t play defense none of the Mavs play any defense. Singling him out the dude is 18 and 10.
Can't send an offer sheet to an RFA until Thursday – that's why they haven't gone that path yet.
YYY
who wouldnt want to play for coach kidd
Woods not resigning for the vet min like wtf that’s insane to even think that. He’s probably going to sign for 8-12 mill somewhere.
It would be a joke if it did happen. I'm not against it. But quite embarrassing for all parties.
Bring wood back. All this trade hardy needs to stop!!
