“There are three more players under contract — [Tim Hardaway Jr.](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/tim-hardaway-jr-XTVgkXYgkNjL4k2I/), [JaVale McGee](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/javale-mcgee-zFmNF44KQd7Dp4EF/), and [Richaun Holmes](https://theathletic.com/nba/player/richaun-holmes-i4CkBlJak1Vr3vVR/) — **who** [**Dallas**](https://theathletic.com/nba/team/mavericks/) **is attempting to trade**. Holmes is the likeliest of the three to stick around, while Hardaway and McGee can’t be on Dallas’ roster if the front office wants to conclude its offseason in the way they envisioned.”
\- Also says Mavericks have had interest in Grant for a while, but his camp is looking for more than the mid-level. Celtics are apparently not interested in THJ so Cato says the Mavericks would have to find another team to reroute him to.
\- Also says that a move for Jarrett Allen or Zubac could prevent us from also doing a Williams deal, and then having to go for Thybulle instead.

i would be content with a big + thybulle 20 times over personally
Getting thybulle would be easier, I would switch him to the center position. Philly used to do that and it was effective
I feel like using hardaway for anyone but a center is stupid
unpopular opinion: Richaun Holmes is good enough as a stop-gap center. just good enough to start most of the season, but not good enough to hold on to his starting spot. the last few games of season, hopefully Lively can take over that starting spot
edit: players like Ayton and maybe Zubac will just derail Lively’s development. i can’t speak about Jarrett Allen though cos i really like him
My dog would have known this
I might actually cry tears of joy when the Hardaway era ends
If they somehow could get Allen and then Thybulle for a part of our MLE, that would be a sick offseason.
Seems like we’re out the Grant running
Signing Lively, OMax, Seth, Thybulle, and trading for Jarrett Allen, while dumping Tim and Bertans would exceed any of my wildest (reasonable) expectations from a month ago.
Wow, I can’t believe it. The Mavs have been trying to make improvements following a set plan this whole time rather than just signing people for the sake of signing people.
I genuinely dont think a team that has a center to give us wants THJ. Not saying Tim is bad but I dont see a team that desperately needs a player like Tim.
If only we didn’t have the ducking awful McGee concert to negate so much of Timmy’s value 🥶
This would be one of the best off seasons the Mavs have had in years if they can pull off something here
Why not all three?
Would address the big and take thybulle over grant and no big
Surprise, surprise, nobody wants anything to do with THJ (not to mention McGee). I’ll be shocked if the Mavs find a way to move him for neutral or positive value.
Bye Tim. Grab Thybulle.
How’s thybulle shooting on open threes ?
shocker
Kings had to attach a 1st to Holmes to get out of his contract. I doubt Tim or McGee have any value at their current contracts either. It’s gonna be very rough to get any sort of an upgrade using those 3, unless it’s someone with a huge contract that a team is desperate to offload and/or we attach our ’27 FRP as well.
I dont get the interest in Thybulle. Yeah, he had a purple patch shooting wise with the Blazers when they were just vibing out there but he’s an atrocious shooter oveall. He’s also a SG/SF when we desperate need size and a starting PF.
Call the Blazers for Jerami S&T.
Who would even want these guys 😂
no shit, per me
Is it even possible to obtain Jarrett Allen or Zubac WITHOUT moving THJ? Or would they have to move him for there to be room? Could they do it just with moving out McGee?
I’ll take them if they come with a side of extra dunking skills and a sprinkle of unicorn magic! 🦄🏀
No shit sherlock!
Any combination of those 4 is a win for Rico Nico.
One of you cap wizards let me know if thj/Josh green/McGee works salary wise for Allen
