Spurs, The team with arguably the best assets to either get Anthony Davis or Giannis. However in a AD trade..they could at least keep their young core of Fox, Harper, Castle, Sochan, Vassel, Wemby...Whilst also adding Anthony Davis to that young core.
Spurs give up Johnson, as Mavericks would want a Young player in return, Barnes returns to Mavs as a Salary Filler, Olynyk also salary filler...Opens the door to trading Gafford to Pacers as Olynyk could start at Center and stretch the floor with Lively out, Powell on bench.
Nembhard is united with his Brother in Dallas, Pacers get there much needed Center and a young guard in Hardy, which Mavericks are abundant in.
2026 Round 1 pick from Atlanta could the sweetener the Mavericks need to enter rebuild mode and officially tank. Owning that pick and their own 2026 pick also. Shedding Salary and letting Kyrie return slowly to recover.
