And the Mavs want a star player in response. Right response from the Mavs. I will swap him for a top 50 player though.
I think I would be really emotional if we were to trade DFS since he’s reminiscent of our culture transition.
That being said, you have to consider a move if it meant landing an all-star caliber talent next to Luka. It would have to take a Siakam level all-star for me to want to move on from DFS.
If the Jazz are interested, work out a way to get Lauren Markkanen, instant upgrade.
If a good deal pops up, we should trade him. He’s a nice guy and all but he averages 9 ppg and is another wing who can’t create his own shot.
Are the jazz tanking or not
Jazz trading for dfs would mean they’re trying to win games, so trading any of their main guys would make no sense, but they do have a lot of first round picks, so it’s either that or a 3 team trade?
Clarkson/ Conley or Sexton is probably what we’ll get back if we do a deal with the Jazz. I don’t see any possibility of us getting back Markannen
Gimme Markkanen and we have a deal, lmao.
Dorian Finney-Smith, the guy Luka said he hopes to play his whole career with, that Dorian Finney-Smith? Probably not available
These are the kind of moves we should make (depending on the return). Love DFS but if he can get us another playmaker/ball handler then i’m all for it
The defense would be a disaster without DFS but he is 30y old so a younger wing Lukas age would not be so bad .Maybe get Vanderbilt and a couple of FRPs if the really want him…
Would Ya’ll take a first for DFS to try and stockpile picks for a star?
Would have to be a 3 team trade I think. Jazz trading for a guy like DFS would mean they want to win and aren’t tanking. So they wouldn’t wanna give up anyone too valuable. They have a lot of picks now though.
This makes no sense to me. Why would they trade for DFS now?
You could argue he is our 2nd most important player. Our defense is already in shambles
give me Sexton or Vanderbilt + 1 FRP
if you get Sexton, then Mavs must move to acquire a wing cause you’re left with Green and Bullock for the rest of the season
Everyone who traded with Danny Ainge lost the trade. Outside of Markkanen there is no one on the Jazz more valuable than DFS.
No thank you!
I’d like a trade that gets back sexton
Why would the jazz be interested in him ?? I don’t see how this makes any sense
The mavs need to get out of the “we love our players” attitude. DFS seems like a great dude, but if he can net a good return, you have to make that trade.
Danny Ainge smells a desperate front office. We will almost certainly lose any trade that takes place.
I really, really like this trade from the Jazz perspective. They have a lot of young guys who are outplaying their expected talent level like crazy. Dorian would be an awesome locker room presence and defensive leader.
From our perspective, I’m so torn. Dorian is my favorite Maverick after Brunson left. He works hard and doesn’t cause drama. But if we get good compensation, go for it. He’s 30 now and it’s clear that after the Luka-KP core fizzled, he’s past the Mavericks timeline for any title contention.
The troublesome part of this trade is that it’s Danny Ainge. I’m not at all confident in Nico/Cuban’s ability not to get fleeced by that man.
I definitely want Vanderbilt.
The Jazz are expressing strong interest in Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith, as teams have gotten the impression that Dallas would be open to moving the 29-year-old in the right deal for a star-caliber player, sources say. The Mavericks have an incredibly high price threshold for teams reaching out about Finney-Smith, rival executives say
The way I read this: Dallas is probing the league to see if they can gather enough assets to make an offer for one of the stars/top starters currently on the trade block. If the pistons can ask for a first round pick for 33 year old Bojan earning 20M per season, Dallas might as well ask 2 firsts for Dorian earning 14M per season. Apparently the Jazz are interested in negotiating that offer
Edit: Obviously nothing will happen as Dallas will realize that they do not have enough assets for Siakam/Lavine/Anunoby/VanVleet/DeRozan
Lemme remind the folks in here that DFS played 38.2 MPG in the last playoffs, 2nd only behind Bullock at 39.3 MPG. He averaged 11.7/5.5/1.9 with 0.9 steals and 1 TO. He also shot 42.6% from 3 with 6.0 3PA per game.
I don’t really care what he does during most of the regular season, as long as he brings this level to the playoffs again. He and Reggie were the 2 most important links in our whole defense.
Let’s also not forget that DFS was undrafted, and how long the Mavs have spent believing in him and working with him.
Even trading DFS for Jordan Clarkson straight up (salaries would work actually), I’m not entirely sure what we think we’d be getting out of it.
JC shoots twice as many threes at a MUCH worse efficiency (32% last year vs 39.8% for DFS), JC is better at the 2PT game and shooting FTs, JC averages around 17PPG in 27MPG vs DFS’s 11-ish in 33MPG. But, DFS started in 80 out of 80 games played last season, JC started one (1) out of 79.
Why would the Jazz want Doe? He doesn’t fit their timeline.
We are not going anywhere with the current roster. If they are high in DfS, maybe we can grab a Pick and unload a bad contract. We have enough of those.
Focus on 2023/24.
Everyone talking about replacing DFSs offense and how we can easily upgrade… very confusing. He’s a 3 & D with heavy emphasis on the D… He guards all 5 positions and with Maxi out I don’t think we can afford to lose him for anything short of a top tier player
I’m not one of those guys that thinks DFS is untouchable. Everyone except Luka is available but I don’t see how we get a good return from Ainge
I’ve wanted Clarkson on this team since last playoffs, he is a legit baller. Sexton would be even better. I love DFS but if he gets us either of those dudes without having to give up too much draft capital, I’ll drive him to Salt Lake City myself.
Outside of the 2018 draft DFS is basically the biggest success story this franchise has since 2011. He got better every year until this year. But outside Luka nobody should be untouchable. We need a major roster overhaul
