If you are the Mavs, do you try to trade for Giannis (if he becomes available) or keep the pick?

That cracker never putting on a mavs jersey if Giannis available lol

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

Trade the pick to San Antonio

because you would have a much better chance at winning a championship with Giannis and AD than just AD. Giannis would also fit the AD/Kyrie timeline

I just don’t see how that fits together. I get the idea of AD Giannis but AD and Giannis ain’t winning shyt. They are both very much PF’s and if you play either at Center or SF they are going to get worn down over time and injured.

Like don’t get me wrong if you said “Trade the pick for Booker”. I would entertain it

Not trading the #1 pick to form trio of 30+ injury prone dudes.

I’m drafting Flagg

What is the timeline on Kyrie’s recovery? Isn’t he a free agent after next season?

What is the timeline on Kyrie’s recovery? Isn’t he a free agent after next season?

Report is he should be back by January

 

[Wargames]

Get ride of AD....can't stay healthy, not a true first option, not as as good as Giannis

You do this then sure I could see trading for Giannis. It’s just how you really gonna put AD and Giannis together like that shyt gonna win a championship.

Why not offer the #1 pick for Luka?

 

[tjwettem]

trae/luka will both be free agents as kyrie comes off their books after coopers rookie year.

If I’m Dallas I’m trading AD and Kyrie and building around Cooper

Everybody must GO!

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Why would they trade for Giannis with they have AD?

Because he’s way better than him

 

[ALonelyDad]

If I’m Dallas I’m trading AD and Kyrie and building around Cooper

Trading AD and Kyrie and doing a full rebuild around Cooper can also be another option.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

OP makes a good point that I wasn’t thinking about

Cooper Flagg doesn’t match the timelines of AD and 3rd eye Kai who’s coming off a torn ACL

 

[lvrker]

Do something Cuban & Donnie didn’t do. Keep Flagg, draft and develop talent. I’d for sure keep Lively too.

 

[Wargames]

Because he’s way better than him

Read the premise and what I wrote.

The argument is you bring 2 PF’s and play them together. It’s not trade AD out and then get Giannis.
