Super interesting thought exercise that I came up with.
Mavs first off ship off both AD and Kyrie, they part ways with the super high ceiling Lively, and two great rotation players in Naji and Klay. They take back 2 of the worst (if not...the worst contracts) in the league. All of that...to acquire Cooper Flagg's running mate for the next decade plus, VJ Edgecombe.
It goes without saying that Cooper and VJ would be DEMONIC together, but from the Mavs side, are you willing to take on $100 million for the next few years in Joel and PG to acquire him.
From the 76ers side, do you think that Maxey, Kyrie, and AD is a trio that can win together. In a super open East, I really do believe that this trade puts the 76ers roster on equal footing with everyone else in the East, if not, top dog.
This trade would never happen, but I really like this as a thought exercise. Let me know who says no in this!
