Mavs Full Rebuild


FAILED

Fanspo logo

I've done the Sixers and Raptors fake trades already, but this is how it would look all together.

Out: Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson (salary) In: Jared McCain, Immanuel Quickley, Paul George, Josh Green (salary), Dallas 2027 1st, LAC 2028 1st, LAC 2029 Swap rights

The future backcourt of McCain-Quickley-Christie fits nicely together and next to Flagg, with the right combination of ball-handling, shooting, playmaking and defense to remain viable. Dallas would get a two year window where they would benefit from being bad, and after that they still would have the Clippers picks to compensate the lack of their own. Paul George is an albatross, but he should still be good enough to help the Mavs win if they intend on doing so. Jason Kidd would have access to far more lineup versatility than he does now. For example:

Likely starters: Quickley-George-Washington-Flagg-Lively Offense leaning: McCain-Quickley-George-Flagg-Gafford Defense leaning: Christie-George-Washington-Flagg-Lively Three Guard: McCain-Quickley-Christie-Washington-Gafford Giant: Flagg-George-Marshall-Washington-Lively Switchable: Christie-George-Marshall-Washington-Flagg Bench Mob: McCain-Christie-Green-Marshall-Gafford

Point being, this opens stuff up for Kidd. So whether Flagg isn't ready and they stink, Flagg is ready and they're good, or they fall somewhere in between, Dallas would be heading in the right direction.

Hornets Side Note: The Hornets leverage their salary cap room and ownership of Dallas' 2027 1st to acquire two solid draft assets for one.
