Is he an expiring this off season or next? He is good but SG is our deepest position. I would only prioritize Sf/PF/C this off season tbh.

To do what?
Tim or Hardy can provide anything he will add to the team.

Isn’t he basically just THJ?

Nothing

Nothing unless we move Timmy. But I like Timmy

Isn’t he a better defender than Timmy?

Summarized. Our first need is a Center, followed by a legit *over 6’8* PF, then a defensive wing. We have pretty much zero need for GTJ.

We have stuff to give up?

No telling because we have too many question marks right now. If we have Kyrie next year, no thanks.
I really don’t care about anything other than bigs who can rebound and defend

Mavs need to be on the phone for OG, not GTJ.

Uh…a couple second rounders?

Missing leading af. He is in a player option it’s his choice no their FO. They’re just printing out PR because they got greedy and ask for too much before the deadline.

I like Gary Trent Jr as a player. He’s young, he’s a good shooter and scorer, he can create shots for himself or others on a limited basis, he’s a competent defender and a good nose for steals. I know the opinion is that he overlaps THJ but he’s also like 7 years younger and he adds some elements on D we probably lack.
I wouldn’t mind adding him, to be honest. But, the crux of the issue, whether it’s a trade or he opts into free agency, the answer to ‘how much would we pay?’ is most definitely ‘not as much as other teams would’. His skillset is in demand. He’s going to demand more than we’d sensibly pay unless we move THJ.

Giving up too much for Gary Trent Jr. is the most Mavs move I can think of.

Without significant changes, he makes no sense. We don’t have the assets to waste on a 5th SG. I like the player, but without 3-ish of Kyrie/Hardy/Green/THJ/Bullock getting sent out, there’s no fit.

Do people on this sub understand that the Mavs need size and defense?

As a raptors fan i must warn y’all… he doesn’t show up for the playoffs at all. He’s a good regular season shot creator though.

Not relevant to your question, but I’ll never forget early in Dirks career, Gary Trent leaving the floor to go fight someone in the opposing locker room that roughed up the Wunderkind.

Nothing not what we need
Not a lot honestly
