Scary hours if we trade AD to the pistons and get a top 3 pick in this years draft with Ivey as our other young player.

I’d like to imagine the package is Ivey, Harris and LeVert + 2026 + 2028 for AD.

If this is done you can afford to immediately move off Klay as you’d get a backup ball handler in LeVert who can shoot + defend and you might be able to entice some more picks from someone for Harris expiring or just let him walk in FA and have the cap room made available immediately.

  2. Genuinely sickening to think we turn Luka into Max Christie, Ivey, Harris, Levert and a couple picks.

  4. So essentially we would have traded Luka for Max Christie, a potential Jaden Ivey rental, an expiring Tobias Harris, probably 3 FRP’s and, indirectly, Cooper Flagg.

    Unfortunately, this may be the best return we’d ever get for AD. I’ve mentioned this in other threads, but the idea of Ivey playing the two here alongside Coop and Nemby intrigues me. And opening up that Tobias cap space will help us pay Lively and Ivey in the offseason.

  6. Ivey, two late 1st round picks, and filler contracts is not enough for AD, sorry.

    Bare minimum you need one of Stewart, Holland, or Thompson included as well.

  14. Caris Lavert has $15m guaranteed for next year. I would much rather us get back Duncan Robinson, who we could cut next year for $2m.

  15. Jaden Ivey is a star but can’t keep healthy. Depending on how many picks we get back I’d take that tbf.

  19. The good thing is Detroit will be sabotaged by Davis and his contract so maybe these picks would turn out to be pretty decent

  22. Man, this is best situation for the Mavs. AD healthy and playing good. A lot of teams seem interested. Get the best package and tank.

  25. Was hoping it would be Ron Holland somewhere in an AD to Detroit trade, but Ivey has potential to turn into something.

    Fuck Nico forever for putting us in this position

  28. First. Some of us said. Patience.

    The MAVS have LOTS of options.

    Second. Patience. We have TWO top ten rookies improving by the minute on the squad.

    PATIENCE!!!
