Like Mavs fans hope the rest of the league has goldfish memories and won’t remember AD is made of glass because he played a few games without dying next year. I don’t see any GM being “by god let’s go all in on him now” despite all the atl rumors.

With their salaries and history I don’t see a huge market for either at all.

You have clean books for the 2027-2028 season when AD would/could exercise his player option.

Not saying it’s likely, just a better possibility than a team like Toronto or Atlanta ruining their cap sheet for this guy.

WhiteHeterosexualGuy | Hawks

ADs primary impact is having $54-63M in salary tied up in a guy who can’t be on the court. So this really has nothing to do with how good he is on the court. And it’s another year of money plus that toxic player option. Meaning AD has all the leverage in extension talks, if anyone is even interesting in extending him in the first place at his age and health.

Public-Product-1503

You I imagine are not a lakers fan and a Luka stan . If you were you’d remember people saying this in ²⁰²¹⁄₂₂ and then in 2023 AD had arguably his best year n reworked his game to a slower more power base Centrr game with being n2 in hook n floater shots to jokic . He should’ve prob won dpoy that year tbh but Barkley n media narrative strong .

Most of AD career he’s been available in the playoffs onky missing some of 2021 with the injury riddled shorter year of time off. He plays 55-65 which is enough . If you look around the league- jokic and Shai are literally the only superstars giving you 15+ games a year over Ad. Those guys are amazing but it’s getting tiring the fan n media narrative in a dude only playing 10 less games then the leagues popular players. almost like it’s actually a far lower value loss then the narrative.

Kg and Duncan aged very well defensively and overall , switching more to Centre play . Injuries abd the pace of era aside I see AD being a useful impactful player for potential quite some time still. He is not that old and he doesn’t rely on explosive speed anymore .

Lastly the injuries prob let Dallas re sign AD for cheaper or whoever team has him. He raises your ceiling , he can fit on any team pretty much , he can play alongside any on ball star and add value. That’s a rare skillset he gives a team like the Knicks even next year more championship upside then Kat. With the Knicks talent n weak east they could just load manage him n force his ass to sit for playoffs . He mostly gets minor injuries and returns and plays through them.

Ok but it’s a much better eco system for Flagg long term development, find him a running mate.

You have got nembhard , B will , max chridtie and lively . Atleast ¹⁄₄ of those can be a long term piece mb ²⁄₄ though lively health is a red flag. You got Flagg your cornerstone. Honestly Mavs are in a good spot. Draft smartly this year and you add another blue chipper to join flag.

Next year they can see how good they are with kyrie n AD extended rest, and judge accordingly. At that point you don’t sell for the sake of it as not owning pick and just get to be patient and choose best or just be a playoff team in the west . Also I think people are really downplaying how good those guys are at impacting games.

I’m sorry but if I was the Knicks I’d rather have AD then Kat because AD can actually help win a title alongside brundon . Kat cannot quite clearly tho not sure why Mavs even want Kat tbh they’d rather get young players n assets.

Good point. Next season I can see them beating expectations with a healthy Kyrie and AD, plus an improved Flagg.

They likely wait too long and he gets injured again.

Never ceases to amaze me how many people don’t seem to understand how aging works with athletes.

An injury-prone guy in his 30s doesn’t gain trade value over time.

People expecting that AD will have more trade value in 9 months are mistaken.

On that topic: quit expecting that Kyrie is going to make a big difference when he returns. He’s 34 and coming off an ACL tear. Same principle as AD - he’s not going to be the same guy as he was a year ago and a year from now he’ll probably be at least a little bit worse. This happens with literally every human being.

Duncan n Kg were impactful mych later into their career. AD worst year was 2022 and 2021, he bounced back major after reworking his game and becoming elite at hook shots only behind jokic but by a big distance admittedly but jokic is insane.

It depends ultimately on a bunch of stuff but considering that for all davis injuries he regularly is out there in big games in playoffs or only injured for shorter time lines - I think it isn’t crazy to say a team wikk want him next year with his usual Play. He unlike many stars adds vakue without the ball and can be a last piece . Just not the offense engine core piece .

I sorta agree but fans are stupid and have zero idea on real pkayer evaluation. Fans will feel AD value is at super low atm , but it is lower for a team looking to win a title right now and that is what ultimately matters for Ad trsde to make sense. If he would be healthy or not for example the Knicks would have a bigger title oddds with AD not playing even for them untill near end of year then otherwise.

Agreeing with most part but you haven’t watched any mavs games this year if you think even 34 year old Kyrie coming off an ACL wouldn’t make a difference. We’ve lost so many games this season because of the shitshow we’ve been running out at point guard. Just a little bit of playmaking, taking care of the ball and a bit more spacing and shooting could’ve easily won us 5-10 games this year since like 90% of our games played this year were clutch games. I’m optimistic even 50% of the old Kyrie could still provide that.

It is what it is. We all were pissed for good reason about the Luka trade. AD is injury prone, it sucks. He isn’t doing this on purpose.

So what does this mean? We cannot in any way plan with him playing or bringing back assets in a trade. Whatever he does for us until his contract expires is just a bonus at this point. No use getting angry.

For this season we tank and allow our young players to grow as much as possible. We hope for lottery odds and a good selection that fits with what we got. Hopefully Lively finally gets the surgery that fixes his repeating issues with his foot (ie. IMHO he isn’t injury prone it is just that his one injury was never addressed properly).

So if all works out we have a core of Nembhard, Williams, Christie, Cooper, Lively plus our big next summer.

Anyone else is available for trades, ideally for short term FRPs.

Our goal should be to get at least two role players (and preferably one star) in the 2026 draft.

I would only include Flagg, Christie and Lively in our “core” as the Nembhard and Williams are too flawed as players to consider them on that level. Not sure I agree on the Lively take either but he’s still young so we’ll see.

Honestly that’s a pretty great roster…on paper…and in imaginary world where they all stay healthy. Hilarious that in my own example I chose the only of the top 3 guys who also happen to be infamously battling mystery injuries that constantly undermine their own value.

Not sure who wants AD at this point. Mavs really turned Luka into ash.

Dude and his joker agent still think he’s getting a max contract, it’d be pretty funny if it wasn’t sad.

No one is giving up anything of value for Kyrie when he’s yet to play a game coming off of a tear

Not even the Kings

I’ve gotta think AD is just a negative asset at this point. Another lost season, $120m left on his contract for two seasons… Unless Nico gets a job somewhere, Dallas may need to throw in sweeteners just to move off of him.

Get what you can for AD and Kyrie this offseason, hopefully get another good lotto pick

Both players are at a stage where Mavericks actually have to pay other teams picks to take their salaries. That’s why Marc Stein said AD has to play 55-60 games to have positive trade value.

Building around coop starts with getting gafford gone asap by traded dead lone while he holds value. Gaff and Klay gotta be now the prime targets for trades

isn’t Klay a negative asset at this point even at $17 million? Salary filler at best

I’ll give him a pass this season because of the retina surgery. Next season, he needs to come into training camp slimmed down and in top shape.

Players get injured . Funny to say this as a spurs fan. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it when people poke fun at Wemby injurues. But dw Barkley won’t be around to make him a meme n the media too busy sucking him off. This Reddit is trash

Are we somehow missing the AD silver lining?

Marc Stein on Anthony Davis: Anthony Davis needs to play 55-60 games in order to be traded from the Mavericks .. .. he will be on the roster at training camp
