Of my favorite times of the year I was just telling everybody we had a staff meeting today and I go trade deadline day is a holiday for me and I’m sure for you it is too where you just you Circle it on the calendar you think about it we’ve been talking
About it for what feels like months it feels like and all of a sudden it comes it comes to fruition it happens and you’re like all right waking up looking up like refreshing all the trade rumors and all that like I I love it I’ve got
My tweet deck open on the right I I’m waiting for anything to happen and anything can happen because it’s trade deadline day nothing in the NBA happens without a deadline that’s what an NBA GM told us when I did the sports business classroom in Vegas I did a like a it was
Like a conference class and they had a bunch of NBA GMS come and talk to us and they were like nothing gets done and trade nothing gets done without a deadline and that’s why the trade deadline is such an amazing day because anything can happen who knows uh yeah
It’s it’s it’s crazy so let let’s talk about the latest rumors there’s not a ton that has happened couple of Pistons trade couple small trades here and there Xavier tman gets traded to the Celtics and that one is a little bit interesting for the Mavs because I thought he could
Be a candidate he was on my list of players that would come out of nowhere and be like Xavier Tillman to the Mavericks wait no one really talked about Xavier Tillman to the Mavericks and then all of a sudden you get um you know then the Mavericks would get like a
Backup center didn’t happen but he did go to the Celtics for two second round picks the maps do have two second round picks so it seems like that could be the Baseline aav tman was a solid player playing 20 minutes a game for Grizzlies team now they were really hurt and
Injured but you know like a solid backup that have been playing for them and so for the Andre Drummond Market I think two second round picks hits it sounds like the Bulls are asking for more than that and so I think that that’s I think that that’s interesting the Mavericks
Could be right there in it if the Bulls decide to like accept the accept an offer the MS could get in on Andre Drummond but it sounds like the Bulls are asking for a little bit more the other thing Simone Teo he was traded to the Detroit Pistons he was on my list
Too he got traded for one second round pick he’s like a 68 Wing that can shoot the ball well defend okay and he was doing you know some good stuff for the Jazz he gets traded for one second round pick but it’s the Pistons second round
Pick this season so it’s like the 32nd pick in the draft it’s a high second round pick and so that one is that one is interesting the Mavs maybe could have matched it with twoo but like he doesn’t he doesn’t solve enough things for the Mavericks that you’d want to trade both
Seconds for him and so that didn’t really move the needle for me either so that’s that’s kind of the latest it seems like everyone’s posturing there’s all kinds of posturing and smoke screens going on right now the Mavs are looking in on two names specifically Kyle kosma
And PJ Washington they want to upgrade at that type of a spot and they’re waiting for these teams to the the Wizards and the Hornets of the world are waiting for the the Mavericks and the Suns and the other teams of the world to Cave to give them more than they should
Get for these players to you know there’s not a lot of sellers out there there’s not a lot of team teams that are you know wanting to uh to get rid of talent that everybody wants to take on more talent and this is because of the
Playin to me we Isaac and I would argue about the playing for forever but because of the playing we have teams like you know the Hawks are not just like selling off everything to try and retool even though they’re 22 and 28 you know you have the uh like the Warriors
22 and 25 and usually you’d be like all right well but they have a chance the Jazz 26 and 26 now and they’re at 10th place and they all of a sudden could be in a spot the bulls have convinced themselves that they can win and they they’re not necessarily going to sell
Off everything and start over either because they have a chance they’ve got that play in they can play for something and so that’s kind of where we are all these teams like especially the the Wizards and the Hornets and the Portland Trailblazers of the world they can wait
They all these guys that we’re talking about are signed for multiple years and so a pascal cakam was not and so he noj and anobi was not they had to trade those guys and they’ve already been traded let’s get into the list though I wanted to make a list of the players
That could get traded out of nowhere where we go oh my God like Christian Wood to the Mavericks you remember that remember that one we were like oh okay interesting I don’t know what he really fit what he really fixes but all of a sudden it happened porzingis for Spencer
Deny that’s so weird okay all right let’s talk through that let’s talk through that one right like these trades come out of nowhere the maps do move in silence a lot they’re used a lot I feel like in these uh in these the in the public space of room rumors and this
Play this team is attached to this player and all that you know Mavs were attached to John Collins for a while all of a sudden he gets traded to the Jazz you know it’s like the Mavs seem to be connected to all these different to all these different players but then they
Trade for the ones they’re not connected to so I tried to come up with a list of a bunch of names let’s start with some guards this one might get me in trouble here dejonte Murray I was listening to the W pod today and W and Bobby marks talking
About the Murray trade thing and Deonte Murray is out in the game that he’s the Hawks are playing on Wednesday night by the way and they were talking on the podcast about you know what Atlanta could get for dejon Murray and it didn’t seem like there was a robust market for
Them the Lakers have been in on dejonte Murray and the Lakers don’t have a lot to offer either it sounds like from w at least that the Hawks were only going to get one first round pick for dejonte Murray he’s only making $18 million this
Year it bumps up then to 25 through $31 million for the next four years he’s only making 18 and so the Mavs could put together something a first Hardy Tim Hardway omx like I guess if you if you want to throw that in there and all of a
Sudden you get to jonay Murray with Luca and Kyrie does it make a lot of basketball sense I don’t think so he kind of needs the ball in his hands but you know according to to Mark Stein and others One Source close to the process optimistically insisted Tuesday
Night that de jante Murray deal would send uh that that a deal sending Deonte Murray out of Atlanta has not been extinguished so they could still trade him it’s still possible and would it just be one of those wild things where you go oh my God the Mavs just got dejon
Murray how did that even happen what do they want him he’s like a 6-4 guard that you know has played next to Trey young and it’s been mixed results and he kind of needs the ball in his hands and he kind of hasn’t with Trey young as much
And he’s supposed to be a good Defender because he made all defensive team in like 2018 which is now like a long time ago but he hasn’t really been that good of a Defender and so you’re trying to figure out who he is still a really good
Basketball player and he would help the Mavericks obviously he would be maybe one of the best third scorers in the league like him Bradley Beal and there’s probably you know porzingis like there’s a couple others up there I don’t know it’s a wild one where I was like okay
What if the Mavs just ponied up that first round pick and the Hawks were like we just need to move on we just need to try again and and work they they traded more first round picks for Deon Murray but it feels like his value is lower
Than when it was when he was on the Spurs another name as a guard and this one’s not as crazy is Marcus Smart he’s wasting away on that Grizzlies team right now the Grizzlies already seem to be selling off some pieces Tillman gets traded Stephen Adams gets traded why wouldn’t they just wait
For Stephen Adams to get healthy next year Grizzlies it seems like are loading up on some assets they’ve got a young team they’ve got a really young core John Mor 24 years old uh jiren Jackson Jr isn’t he like 24 years old Desmond Bane from right in the backyard like these guys
Are all these guys are all super young yeah Desmond Bane 25 jiren Jackson 24 John rant 24 Marcus Mart is 29 he’s not really on the same timeline they got him this Summer they traded that first and so maybe they look at it and go let’s recoup some assets and let’s regroup and
Let’s change up what we want to do it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense like up front like why would they do that they just got him you know he’s only played 20 games for them he’s missed a ton of games with with injuries
Here and there so it it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense he’s out with like a finger injury right now he’s missing like he’s missing six weeks that was that was as of what January 9th so he’s getting close to the end of that about
Two weeks he’ll be back and so like you could kind of talk yourself into you can kind of talk yourself into it if you’re the Mavericks he would obviously be that Defender that they desperately need a Kyrie Marcus Smart backourt with Luca it’s okay I can I can see that they
Still need a guy to defend guards they’ve tried you know drick Jones Jr they’ve tried Josh Green they’ve had they’ve had varying successes with those two but 18 million is not like the Mavs can put that together and he signed for 18 million this year 20 million the year
After that 21 million the year after that that’s a pretty good contract and if they’re like hey let’s just recoup some assets for him it didn’t work this year we tried it and let’s move on he could be a name I’ve got two more guards
And then I got a bunch of wings because obviously the Mavericks are looking at wings I just wanted to name the two uh guards because they were bigger names first but coming up let’s get into some of those wings could they change the game for the Mavericks talk about that more coming
Up today’s episode is brought to you by Nissan Nissan has you covered are you the kind of driver that likes to push things a little bit further you like to hit the road and all of a sudden there’s somebody to your left oh man this is

Us un lockdown Maps being part of part of the show part of the raccoon Squad I appreciate each and every one of you that listens to the show every day listening to this show we should have a a show right after the trade deadline whether the Mavs make a move or not and
Then slightly and I will be on for the postgame show the Mavs play the Knicks they play a game they play a game it will be after the trade deadlines there will be no Harrison barns getting traded in the middle of the deadline things happening this year but they do play so
We’ll have you covered for the deadline and for the game as well all right I’m going through the list of surprise players to get traded out of nowhere where all of a sudden they get traded and we go how did the maps get Marcus Smart how did they get dejonte
Murray Jeremy Grant is my first Wing now I know I can I I hear you I hear you but Jake fiser reported that that you know that they’re not goingon to trade that they don’t they’re not willing to trade him yeah okay sure Jan sure this is not
In regards to Jake fiser it’s towards the the Blazers okay why what’s the point of them keeping Jeremy Grant wouldn’t they want to get off his money wouldn’t they want to get off his deal and all that it doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense unless
They’re just holding back for a better offer could totally happen and all of a sudden we’ve heard what we heard for weeks the Blazers want to keep Jeremy Grant and then he gets traded how many times have we heard that before he fits what the Mavericks kind
Of want in the sense that he’s you know he’s 69 he can score he can get his own shot great three-point shooter he would he would help the Maverick shooting a lot the Mavs could send some of their worst contracts you know you change Tim Hardaway into a Jeremy Grant does that
Change like you take Tim Hardaway and ran Holmes and you change him into a Jeremy Grant I think that helps rotation a lot the problem is he’s not a good Defender at all and so you’re not taking a step forward there you’re just changing what your offense is a little
Bit it’s it’s less riant on three or threes or nothing and it’s a little bit more you have some more optionality there the maps need that it’s not their number one need but they do need that and so Jeremy Grant is a name that I
Think the the Mavs could all of a sudden wake up on we could wake up on Deadline day and be like Jeremy Grant going to the Mavericks what okay he’s not my number one choice there’s you know I like the other the guys they’re looking
At right now kozma and PJ I like them both better than him even just straight up like not even considering the cost or anything he’s making a ton of money this is the problem with Jeremy Grant he’s making 27 and a half million this year 29 almost $30 million next year 32 the
Year after that 34 the year after that and then 36 .4 million player option in 2027 28 and like some of us will be hitting another decade at that point so far away four years from now that’s crazy and so that’s a name though that’s a name
That I’m I’m I’m looking and watching I’m watching for because there’s been so much like we’re not trading him we’re not trading him all right I don’t believe you Deandre Hunter is a name for the Atlanta Hawks he has not been very good as I’ve talked to people that have
Covered the the Hawks and that are F fans of the Hawks that I work with like yeah he’s just he hasn’t been great but we’ve seen him be pretty good we’ve seen him be pretty good defensively he’s making a ton of money too he’s making 20
Million this year 21 the year after that 23 the year after that 24.9 the year after that ton of money for a guy that’s not giving you a ton of production and kind of can’t stay on the court which is why I’m out on him I’m out like I
Wouldn’t want the Mavericks to trade for him because he can’t really stay healthy he played 67 games the year before year no last year 53 the year before that 23 the year before that and then 63 in the shortened Co year his rookie year which is actually pretty
Good and he has missed some yeah he’s missed a big chunk of games this season too he’s only played what 27 out of the he’s played 27 out of the 50 so he’s played just as much as Kyrie has played this season as well he can be that
Bigger Wing he’s 68 he he’s defended Luca really well in the past maybe he needs to change the scenery he’s shot the three the three ball really well 40% from three this season on four attempts a game almost five attempts a game that’s good so he’ll take the defense to
Take the three-point shooting and maybe he’s the bigger wing and maybe it’s a change of scenery that helps him and that’s that would be the case I it wouldn’t be my choice but the BS could probably get him for pretty cheap like all of a sudden you go all
Right let’s take Maxi and rwn Holmes and a couple seconds or maybe not even the seconds like let’s just let him get off the salary let the Hawks get off the salary wouldn’t that be a trade where you go how did they get deand DeAndre Hunter oford it feels like
Nothing the Mavs get more wings and then you know don’t have to deal with maxi in injuries all the time then they just deal with different injuries another name is Ru hamura ruy haimura to me if you ever been to Walmart you know that they have brands that are name brands
And then you have the Great Value Brands Great Value Brands is just like a it is known as like a little bit worse they’re not they’re probably all the same product but it’s like a little bit worse ruy haimura is Great Value brand Kyle kozma he does a lot of the same stuff
Kozma does just a little bit worse he’s making less money but he’s 68 he can get his own shot a little bit here and there he had a good run in the playoffs last year where all of a sudden he was showing some stuff not a good run maybe
He had some good games maybe he’ll put it that way he’s shooting the three ball really well the last two years last two years he’s like you know about 40% from three shooting about three a game like I said he’s a bigger Wing he can he can
Hold up fine defensively he’s not great defensively but can hold up fine defensively he’s making just about 15.7 million this year maybe like a grant Williams and Ru haimura Mavs to throw something else in Seth Curry and maybe that’s the change maybe just a change of scenery maybe
Just like a change that the Mavs need or maybe they’re part of a three- team deal where the Lakers somehow do get Deonte Murray and then ruy huro gets rerouted to the Mavericks in some way and Grant Williams goes to the Hawks or something like that or ran Holmes goes to the
Hawks and you you know couple the couple seconds go to go to somebody else it’s one I’m looking at where you go how did they get R haimura well the answer is they couldn’t get kozma and they couldn’t get Jeremy Grant they couldn’t get PJ Washington so they
Decided to go with Ru haimura instead another name in that same vein these next five names are all the same thing they couldn’t get kozma they couldn’t get PJ Washington what about these guys Obi toppen the Pacers just got Pascal SE yakum so Obi toppen was was playing like
24 minutes a game and now he’s playing 19 minutes a game so he’s dropped off about five minutes a game still playing a lot more than I actually had thought he was playing but Obi toppen just a you know a 69 athletic Wing he’s like the
You know the Derrick Jones Jr of power forwards basic basically he’s played a bunch of games this season he you know has shot the three ball actually really well that was a big thing that they were that the Pacers fans were looking at and that you know Tony east UN locked on
Pacers was talking about can he hit the three ball well he’s shot almost 40% on three threes a game with Tyrese halir you think that would be the same with Luca I think so and so maybe you bring him in just another athlete another big body he
Would come off the bench can’t really like he’s not gonna get his own shot that’s not but he’s gonna if the Mavs are going to push the pace a little bit I imagine him playing with the Kyrie lineups anytime Luca goes off the floor Obi toin comes in and it’s and it’s Obi
OB toppin and Kyrie together Obi toppen and Josh green and Kyrie you’re like and Derrick Jones Jr like okay here we go let’s play fast now let’s let’s move up and down the court and that’s how that’s what I could see this move is not going to change
Your world maybe just add some size and athleticism and maybe the MAV that’s all the Mavs can do couple seconds Obi to gets a bigger opportunity I guess with the Mavericks an interesting one probably not but again these are the names that like could come out of nowhere he is
Also making $6.8 million it’s kind of hard to trade for it’s a little low for the Mavericks in that that range and he’s going to be restricted free agent this summer so you got to figure out how much you’re going to pay him and that’s kind of weird too the Mavs have done
That a couple times from reports from Mark Stein and others it doesn’t sound like they want to do that for somebody else like to try and sign somebody right after you get them and so coming up let’s get into some more wings and let’s get into centers as well I’ve got a
Couple of bigs you know the Mavericks want some bigs and let’s talk about some of them we’ll get into that and more coming up today’s episode brought to you by prize Pi prize pick is daily Fantasy Made Easy Go to prize pi.com see what is available

Lock on NBA use that code lockon NBA it’s all lowercase lockon NBA prix.com lockon NBA first deposit match up to $100 all right Isaac let’s get into some more Wings these are the surprise players to get traded out of nowhere that all of a sudden they end up on the Mavericks and we go what the heck how did this how did this player end up on the Mavericks talked about some wings Jeremy
Grant DeAndre Hunter uh ruy haimura Obi toppen and let’s talk about three more Jan Tate for the for the Rockets I was listening to lock down Rockets with Jackson Gatlin our friend and he mentioned that Jan Tate could be on his way out that he may not find just the
Way that everything is kind of pushed together the way that some of their wings are are panning out doesn’t look like it looks like J shant’s getting the squeeze from that rotation and so he could be a guy that the Mavericks decide to go get you know kind of like he’s not
Really a like a bigger Wing what’s he actually listed at because I I remember what he was listed at is not how he looked on T he’s 6’4 he looks a little bit he plays a little bit bigger looks a little bit bigger he plays the four sometimes for them which
Is why you’re like that’s kind of weird but he’s one of those guys that plays bigger if the maps if if you can’t get anybody else this is again if you can’t get kozma you can’t get PJ Washington you got to add some size somewhere and they’re not getting it from their wings
Right now J Shante doesn’t really add that but maybe he’s somebody again it’s one of those it didn’t make any sense but the Mavs all of a sudden get J Shante just calling it another name that I did see in some rumors is autoporter JR he’s missed a bunch of games with
Injury like he only played eight games last year he’s only played 15 for Toronto this year he’s not injured as of right now but 68 has been to you know went to that title with the Warriors two years ago Mavericks played against him on the way there and he’s always shot
The three ball well 40% for his career he makes a lot of sense with what the Mavericks do this would feel like the not this would feel like the JJ reic trade from a couple years ago where you get a guy and you’re like is this guy
Done I think he might be done and then he then he comes to the Mavericks to go oh yeah he is done but if he’s not done then that’s a pretty nice get um The Warriors are missing a guy like this still a depth piece that you know coming
Off your bench you feel pretty good about all right we still have some good three-point shooting and some solid defense coming off our bench another name on the Grizzlies I’ve mentioned a couple Grizzlies name so far is Santi Alama San Alama from Spain you know him
From we watched him from FBA but he’s playing a pretty decent role for the the Grizzlies this season he’s 611 so he’s got great size he can play the four because he can shoot the three ball pretty well 30 about 36% the last two years that’s pretty good you’ll take
That uh he can get his own shot a little bit he can attack and he’s just one of those where you’re like oh Spain the Spain connection with Luca and you’re like then all of a sudden you go the Mavs need some size and they get Santi Al
Dama and bring him off the bench and then the Dwight Santi or Maxi sanama those those lineups make a little bit more sense a little B more size there pulling names out of a hat at this the I’m at the end of my wings forward segment so that I’m just pulling names
Out of a hat right now they’re not I know they’re not exciting to you but they’re names that Mavs could trade for that would help their depth a little bit here’s one more that I didn’t mention earlier that I forgot another like forward John Collins the Mavs have been
Connected with him before you can’t get kozma you can’t get PJ Washington like you can’t get these guys maybe John Collins he’s 69 he’s playing he’s starting a bunch of games now for the jazz jazz are playing really well but the Jazz are already selling off pieces they just traded Simone fonio sounds
Like they might trade some other some pieces too we’ll talk about another one of those names here in a little bit he can rebound a little bit he can shoot the three a little bit he’s a bigger body you’re paying him a decent amount of money you’re paying him what
25 this year 26 and a half the year after that 26 and a half player option the year after that a lot for not enough production at that spot but the Mavs would get bigger it’s not a it’s not a great name but he’s play I mean he’s playing well
In a role for the Jazz and the Jazz are winning games you got to give him credit for something yeah he basketball reference by the way just added this whole column for awards and so you can see which place each player placed in award categories for per year and in year two
John was ninth for most improved so good for him ninth there only eight more players that improved more than John Collins in 20189 those are the wings and forwards let me know which one you’re most interested in let’s talk about some centers this is one the Mavericks have
Been connected with but I’m gonna I’m gonna come back to it Keith Smith report like rumored like reported that the magic have stop taking calls on wend Carter Jr sounds like they’re playing to me it sounds like they’re playing the I’m going to hang up the phone right now
And wait till you come back with a better offer Tim Hardway Jr for wend Carter they need some shooting they need some more offense when they got a couple centers too with Mo with Mo Vagner and goo Bazi have played decently well for him they’re gonna have to pay some of these
Guys it’s one that wouldn’t make a lot of sense you go why did the magic give him I don’t know maybe they get Hardy in the deal too and get another guard that they want to try and figure out interesting so w Carter is he would fit with the Mavericks really well that
Would be great he could play with Derrick Lively I think couple minutes here and there we wouldn’t play him a lot couple other Center Center names Jonas valan chunis he’s making 15 million this would one where this is the same as the Stephen Adams trade to the Rockets you go why
Did the Rockets get Stephen Adams well they just wanted a really good backup why would the Pelicans get rid of him I don’t have the answer to that question maybe maybe they decide something else he’s only making 15 million this year and he’s an expiring contract so maybe
They just want to get something for him they think they’re that they think he’s going to leave and he’s going to they’re going to lose him for nothing that one makes a lot more sense just asset wise here’s an interesting one the Mavs were connected to this name back in the
Offseason they wanted to sign him they wanted to sign him outright and they had an offer out for him Nas Reed of the Timberwolves he’s making about 13 million this year then 14 and then A5 million player option so not a ton and then they also have Kyle Anderson making
9.2 the Timberwolves have to add some extra scoring somehow they want to add another guard They just added Monte Morris as like another guard what if they want Tim Hardway Jr just another just a guy that could just all of a sudden win us a quarter win us a game in
A playoffs when when our other guys just don’t have it you do Nas Reed and Kyle Anderson for Tim and Seth Curry in a pick the two seconds or the first because then all of a sudden Nas Reed is a real interesting piece for you you could start Nas Reed
You could definitely start Nas Reed next to uh Derrik Lively against a lot of matchups maybe not all of them and then Kyle Anderson he’s been he’s not been great this year his shooting has been pretty bad and so maybe they want to get off that deal they’re going to lose him
For nothing he’s making n million that’s an interesting one it’s again I’m I’m throwing the ones out that are like came out of nowhere Kelly oen would not come out of nowhere because it is reported and rumor Tony Jones I think of the athletic reported that that he probably
Will get traded by the Utah Jazz the Mavs have been connected with him before Derrick Jones Jr and him were supposed to be Mavericks that was the trade that we thought was Goran dragic that ended up being actually was Kelly Ock and Derrick Jones Jr from the heat to the
Mavericks and so maybe they finally get him you know you could do ran Holmes for Kelly o lenck and you know the two seconds or or one second or whatever that works really well so that’s another Center name Mason plumbley is the last Center name I have i’ I’ve said this for
A couple weeks now Daniel Ty has taken that backup center spot and he’s kind of moved out of the way he was actually pretty gracious about stepping out of the way and if the Mavs want to add more siid Mason plumbley is a good one pretty
Good vet the maps could add I got two more guard names I forgot earlier too Marquel folz I’ve thought about the faults for Tim Hardway Jr that money just works straight up maybe they want to add more ball handling instead of you know what Tim Hardy Jr brings the magic want to
Add more I feel like the the magic would have to add to that deal so maybe the Mavs get a like a couple seconds in that in that deal get some more assets and then they take those four seconds and turn him into a better player somewhere
Else and that’s how you take the step forward it’s like one of those where it’s an asset management thing and then maybe Marco folz ends up being a really good like other guards when when he’s when he’s not hurt Dante exom hopefully will be healthy when exam’s injured
Maybe Marco Voltz will be healthy the last one is Chris Dunn the Mavs tried to get matis stable in the offseason they didn’t get him and maybe they Tred with Chris Dunn now he’s been playing really well he’s been playing really good defense for the uh for the Utah Jazz too
The Jazz seem to be sellers um yeah he’s played a he’s played about 20 minutes a game for them and he doesn’t really give you a whole lot else he’s actually been shooting the three ball really well last two years like 40% but he’s only taken
One and a half a game so he’s not going to add a whole lot on offense but if you need to get a stop every once in a while the Mavs just run into these stretches where they just can’t get a stop no matter what they throw out anybody and
They just can’t throw out a Chris throw Chris Dunn out there and then let him let him help stop the bleeding basically and I feel like that would make sense U you can probably get him for a couple seconds again this is this is if the
Jazz are just trading off a bunch of pieces and selling off a bunch of pieces and decide they don’t really know he’s only making two and a half million this year he’s an unrestricted free agent in the summer so maybe they think they’re going lose him for nothing again it’s
Another one of those let me know which of those names is most interesting to you let me know if there’s anything in the like make your prediction who do you think the MS get in the trade deadline guys thanks for listening to locked on Mavs peace out Boom

We just need a pf really bad
In Slovenia 8th of February is actually a holiday.
Nick I have been under the impression that the mavs would have zero firsts this summer if we traded the 2027 first this deadline, apparently we’ll still have two left. I wouldn’t be so hesitant to trade the 2027 this year then. I don’t feel like we need a move that requires three firsts. Let’s trade one and then in the summer we’ll play with two that isn’t bad at all.
Marcus smart now😮
I think the Mavs will stand pat until this summer.
Top guard, I like Marcus Smart, who gives you his all on the court. Next best pg dejuantee murray. Trade seth curry, etc, get one of them.
For all that is good and holy if we don't get another center.
Read that if you wanna know whats wrong with mavs
Go get Trey Murphy 3
Still sucks having 4 unplayable guys on the bench
Vucevic, Drummond, DeRozan and Levine.
no freaking guards
Pokusevski!!!!!
Don’t trade grant he gets hot and plays d he’s an enforcer definitely a better and more respected version of Dillion brooks every team needs one he’s just guarding bigs cuz livelys out
Bridges and PJ
Trade Dwight Abdul Jabbar powell,seth ,hardy,t for pj washington and richsrds
i love how everyone in here preaches the basic cliches of making deals like nico harrison isn’t a GM for a reason
So PJ Washington had a bad game against the Raptors and the Hornets want Josh Green and a 1st for him?!?! Yeah Im definitely gonna pass on him for a trade. Kyle Kuzma however had 28 points against the Cavs and almsot came away with a W. He is the top target for the Mavericks to go after and I believe Nico will get that job done. Nico also knows that the fan base is getting reatless on where the state of the team is at and he also knows that if he cant get a deal done in less than 24 hours, then Luka is gonna leave in 2 years and force a trade out of Dallas. This is why that the Mavericks have to go get a Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija, and Daniel Gafford at this deadline because that tells me they're serious in keeping Luka here long term.
Did the trade machine…Hardaway, Holmes, Kleber and Josh Green could get us LeBron, just saying 😂
dejounte isn’t what we need nor want
MFFL
We need to revisit that deandre hunter idea… He’s like a way better Kleber with better ball handling. Atl is a mess.
why don’t we target JJJ? Or maybe Mitchell Robinson, we have great relationships with knicks management?
No trade
Porzingis easy 31 points tonight. And Mavs are talking about Smart, Hunter, etc.. So funny.😅😅😅
Mavs want a big DEFENSIVE WING ? What’s wrong with OMAX , give him the minutes, don’t make a trade including first round pick unless we getting a for sure for sure upgrade.
I’m not expecting Jerami Grant trade to happen and I know his D hasn’t been good lately but I guess if he will accept his third man role and fully commit on his D, he would be valuable as he was in the bubble next to joker and murray
MAN….RIUDY CAN PLAY….AND WOULD BE A BETTER PLAYER WITH THE MAVS….
the biggest issue with all this conjecture is that it’s predicated on the idea that there’s teams out there that want our players lmao
Marcus Smart would be good but he is small to play the 3 Jerami Grant would be a better fit Salute from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
