The Mavericks really need spacing. Naji, PJ, AD and Flagg block each other spaces and the offence stands still. Either u trade AD or change the players around him. Trade Package #2
Mavericks: Mathurin --> Space the floor and gives more opportunities for Flagg AD and Gafford in the Zone. Projected Line up when Kyrie is back:
Irving - Nembhard - Flagg - BWill Mathurin - Christie - Thompson - Hardy Flagg - Mathurin - PJ AD - PJ - Flagg Lively - Gafford - AD
Grade A-
Pacers: Ivey, 2030 FRP SA - DA Swap --> Reports around league said Mathurin could be a potential trade candidate on the Pacers roster. His upcoming Extension is going to be expensive and the 2026 has many good Forward Prospects. So the Pacers could eye a trade and get an additional FRP in 2030. Therefore they receive Jaden Ivey who could play off Haliburton on the 2 or be their 6th man.
Grade A-
Pistons : Naji Marshall, SRP --> It seems like the pistons don't want to give Ivey the extension he wants despite the matching rights it is possible that he leaves the franchise in this summer. A lot of teams could be willing to offer him a big contract that the pistons don't want to match. So they trade him before the deadline and get Marshall in exchange. He definitely fits their "Bad Boys" culture with his playing style, but lacks in shooting, which the Pistons really need. They also need a reliable scorer off the bench when Cade is sitting and that's what Marshall could be for them. He has career numbers in efficiency in the paint and plays very aggressive. He is also a top defender. The Pistons loose literally nothing in this Trade. Jaden Ivey was injured and played almost no role in this seasons success. Also he wasn't a part of their last seasons play off team and has problems getting his game back after injuries.
Grade B
