[All Things Mavs] Dallas has emerged as one of the western conference contenders that is continuously on the phone trying to make a move, per @JakeLFischer. They are shopping Richaun Holmes & Tim Hardaway Jr.
January 9, 2024
This was all said in todays twitter space with Jake Fischer
Now that THJ is no longer shooting like a blistering 45% he’s a lot more shoppable, and Holmes being DNP makes sense.
It’s solid salary though, and it seems like we’re going for an actual substantial trade.
What’s the last time Jake Fischer prediction on the mavs was right? Not hating, genuinely curious, since I can’t remember.
I’m pretty sure whichever team trades for Siakam he’s going to re-sign with. They’re going to want a verbal commitment like what we got with Kyrie last offseason.
With that being said, if Nico pulls off this move then we’re contenders.
Holmes might actually have a little value if Kidd played him even spot minutes. Going to cost us a pick to shed him before the offseason.
hypothetically a roster with a starting 5 of luka, kyrie, exum/djj/siakam, and lively is a contender right?
Hoping kyrie and Luka have Siakam’s phone number and are selling him on agreeing to an extension. He’s a perfect fit here. And if we can get him for pennies on the dollar since nobody else will commit assets for a rental, we’re championship contenders straight away.
Shopping would imply that they think that there is a market for him.
If Holmes is moved its either as salary filler or a straight-up salary dump
Nooooo not Timmy!!!
We are trying to shop Timmy for the last two years at this point. Even if Fischer is right here, this is nothing. The pure shooter with questionable defense is not too high on the market (refer to the Knicks desperate for anyone to bite on Fournier for literally anything in return). Holmes is better than Powell, but he was a consistent DNP in Sacramento last season and is a consistent DNP with is now.
THJ and Holmes are cap filler. The only real value we have is Green and Hardy (and OMax, but I’m sending positive thoughts that he is in no trade packages whatsoever), and I’m not talking about “trade for an All-Star” package (for those we only have if it is on the bargain bin, like Kyrie last deadline), but for “trade for an actual starter”. Green and/or Hardy and our FRP are our real deal if we are serious about bringing someone, Timmy and Holmes are just salary filler.
Fischer also noted, “Dallas, Indiana, Sacramento, and Detroit are the frontrunners for Siakam, and when it comes to Pascal and Free Agency, he’s all about the money”
As they should be. As Kyle Kuzma said, I think we are 1 piece away from contention and I don’t think either of those guys have a role on the team past next season
Do we really need a “win now” piece when we have many promising young role players who have showed promise and consistent improvements?
I too am willing to trade my BMW 3 series and Dodge Journey for a Porsche 911.

And what could we actually get for THJ or Holmes? Are we shopping them together or separately?
I will never be as hyped to hear a goat bleating as I will be if we land Siakam.
My only thing with siakam is even if you do bring him here, do you rly wanna pay him? He’s 30 years old and at his max extension (which is presumably what he wants), he’s making like 40m+. Kuzma is at 25m a year, jerami Grant is about 30. Siakam is in that tier imo. Are we saying he’s as good as kawhi or pg? It’s not impossible, but he doesn’t have near the pedigree. Idk with siakam like obviously he’s good but whoever gets him is stuck with the same problem Toronto has, which is do you rly wanna pay him.
Fuckin poor Tim dude. His name is always on the block.
I’m sorry but I love Hardy/green as much as the next guy but our time to win is now, as much as I’d love to see them develop they should absolutely be dangled for a starter level piece
We have enough of a development project with lively and omax
Yeah he predicted Brunson would re-sign. I member
Can they really acquire sikiam for that . They would have to give a first round pick at least
Hell no we get Siakam. I am not hurting myself anymore.
I really don’t want to loose Tim. He’s great coming off the bench. Happy to get rid of Holmes. Would much rather see Seth go than Timmy but Tim is obviously the better player so I get it.
I’m sorry but I’m not so high on Jake Fischer, and even if i am, this shouldn’t be surprising at all. Timmy has been on the trading block for years and we all should know Holmes is on the trading block too
Hope they add Powell as a free gift.
The perennial shopping of THJ has begun
Am I only one here who *ISN’T* interested in Siakam?

Great to hear that Nico is active and engaged.
