This was INEVITABLE…

1. Move Gafford, Klay and PJ first

2. Lively has no value right now

3. I’d get rid of Lively and keep Bagley… Lively is a one trick pony..

   Bagley is more than just a rebounder and a dunker

4. I still like Lively and would keep him around for Wemby and Chet

5. I was hoping by the thumbnail this meant our governor would be gone. Is Cooper in good enough shape for you Fat Dumont?

6. WE should give Lively one more year if he cant stay healthy then i would think about trading him. It would be hard..

7. It makes NO sense to trade Lively…this offseason. Despite what the geniuses in the Mavs FO think, trading players at their lowest value (AD) is not a viable strategy. No way I’m giving him a crazy extension (only want him back at the playa price), but if he’s balling out and it comes out that he’s reject Mavs reasonable contract extension, then I’m selling high on him and trading him at the trade deadline.

8. Lively has had 4 foot injuries in 3 years. There is no bigger indicator of a shortened NBA career for a center than chronic foot problems.

9. I’ve been over Lively for a long time now. I wouldn’t have been upset if they already traded him at the deadline.

10. Lively is more valuable on the Mavs vs his trade value. You’re not going to get back a worth while return.

11. D- Live to team up with Luka 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

12. Lively sucks – send him out

13. Lively had one of the best rookies years for a center of all time. Defensive impact doesn’t show in box score.

14. He should retire – weak

15. No. Mavs better keep Lively.

16. 55-36-7. That's the number of games D Lively has played in three seasons in the NBA. If this off season is time to build around CF then it's time to move Lively for whatever the team can get for him to free up a roster spot and let another team worry about his value next off season when his contract is up.

    I disagree that Kyrie will eat up PG minutes. He is best off the ball. The Mavs need a PG and a good one should be available in this draft (Wagler, Flemings, Acuff, in that order). Solidify the backcourt now. The Mavs are alright with bigs (Gafford, Cisse, Bagley and PJ occasionally). Maybe get a decent pick for Lively and add that pick to our late FRP for some help in the middle.

    Make the backcourt a priority this summer. A good PG will unlock Kyrie and Cooper.

17. There's no way you get rid of D-live until you know exactly what you have. We have to battle San Antonio for years. We've got to have the size to deal with the Alien 👽.

18. Lively is a good player and asset for the team but if it’s going to cost our idiot billionaire owners money, then, by all means, get rid of him. We need good players but not if they cost money.

19. You keep AJ And Brandon fool. How in the hell is you gonna teach speed for that price . Coop needs to be in his right position . At point sometimes with the ball ball. He works hard creating his own shot. He misses teammates shot.

20. Lively has sacrificed his body health for this team in his rookie year. His fans will follow him.

21. Can’t wait til warriors draft him

22. YES!

23. Dallas needs young talent. It would be crazy to trade Lively before next season begins unless they get an offer that's too good to refuse. But they won't. Dallas has Gafford under contract and they should lock down Bagley as a versatile rotation big, so I don't see the dire situation at C.

    If they're looking to trade anyone, they should be floating Kyrie to desperate "win-now" teams like Houston. If they could convince VanVleet to agree to the trade, Kyrie could elevate that team. And Houston has some valuable draft capital that Dallas should covet.

24. This is dumb – probably a Laker fan published this so that the Lakers can get Lively…LOL

25. You do not trade Lively. He isn't going to get a big payday. DAL is in prime position to sign him to a value contract that could be huge for them, should he get healthy. Johnson is a nothing burger. There wouldn't be a return for him, maybe a 2nd rounder with some protections. There is also a real chance we're drafting a guard sooo…. For me the contracts you're looking to move are Klay, Caleb Martin, maybe PJ depending on if we jump up in the draft and Brandon Williams via a SnT to whomever signs him to an offer sheet

26. after the damage nico did to his medical im not playing a single game and kick rocks on a new contract im getting the hell away while i can still have a future

27. Its a bit misleading blaming him for his uavailability this season since the medical staff with its false diagnosis is a key reason for him not being on the court.

28. Cisse has more upside

29. Bill, Ryan, and Kai are the small shifty type PG. AJ is the only change of dynamic G we have that can handle the rock

30. Only if livelys trade value now is worth a rotation player or half way decent pick

    Otherwise they should see if he can get healthy.

    Not sure where you think he’s gonna get a big payday on the market. I don’t think your all that familiar with the mavs coming from your laker pods

31. I hate that we only got 1 full season from dlive , in the same breath I wouldn’t trade him just yet , gaff needs to go before live

32. Lively is not unlocked without a Luka. He won’t be the same with Kyrie even if he stays healthy. Same with Gaff. Don’t underestimate the fact Luka makes everyone better

33. This isn't an Anthony Davis situation, he's a young player and he won't be commanding a max contract at this rate and his trade value is lowered by the injuries and contract status. I'm willing to roll the dice on Lively. Sometimes guy are injury prone until they aren't, Tyson Chandler was so injury prone early in his career he even had a trade rescinded because he failed the physical

34. Luka made everyone better. Why do you think the Lakers have the best clutch record by far this year? It is literally 10% better than OKC who is number 2! It is Luka Doncic.

35. Trading Lively is not worth it. He’s only 2 year pro and YOUNG as crap let’s keep him and let his body become thicker and stronger.

36. 🤡

37. Anthony Davis has played more games in the past 2 years than Lively. That puts into perspective how fragile Lively is. He needs to be traded for future assets.

38. If you trade Dlive, it’s next February because you realize you don’t wanna pay him. That probably means we have interest and someone else in mind. So I don’t see it at all, we still love Dlive and can’t wait to see him healthy.

39. Dwight Powell was more consistent than all of centers combined and he’s retiring. Trade him now and get a versatile center.

40. If you trade him now you wouldn't get anything.

41. So u gonna trade him at his lowest value.. yeah .. GENIUS

42. Big payday?? For what exactly? 😂😂
