Harrison Barnes REUNION With Mavs + Trade Seth Curry For De’Andre Hunter? Mavericks Trade Rumors
On today’s Mavericks trade rumors we’re going to talk about these two players in particular DeAndre Hunter with the Atlanta Hawks plus an old friend Harrison Barnes with the Sacramento Kings so we’ll dive into those two players and if they would be potential fits but first subscribe to the channel
We’re less than two weeks away from the NBA trade deadline a week from Thursday it will be here you’re not going to want to miss out we’ll have the latest news and rumors leading up to it we’ll have you covered on trade deadline day go ahead subscribe and let’s jump into this
Episode he’s Jeffrey cooperstein I am Harrison Graham welcome into Mavericks today Coupe let’s dive on in here happy Monday DeAndre Hunter we’ve talked about him before could a trade come together between the Mavericks and the Hawks here yeah he’s an interesting name that’s been mentioned he’s kind of a guy that
The Hawks could trade in order to shake things up because they’ve kind of been talking about that they’re they’re one of the teams that could make major moves at the trade deadline whether it’s Deon Murray Could Be A guy like DeAndre hunter or Clint capella I wanted to
Explore the DeAndre Hunter side of things because I think he of those three would be the best fit for the Mavericks and I think Sam Vini of the athletic had some interesting things to say on Hunter yeah he said his skill set is polarizing for Scouts League wide some evaluators
Love Hunter’s ability to take on tough defensive matchups gets bigger and longer win wings at 68 with the 72 Wings span he’s always been a terrific on ball one-on-one Defender who can at least make live life harder for the League’s best scorers and I think what’s been
Nice to see uh Coupe is his three-point shot throughout his career has kind of been up and down this year he’s been much more consistent 40% clip there he’s averaging 15 points per game almost which I believe is a career high as well mentioned the defensive prowess I mean
If you could get these numbers right here just not even expecting an uptick which you possibly could get an uptick from three playing next to Luca uh I think Mavericks fans would love that and he can play the three or the four and he can defend one through fours as well um
I I I like it man I I think this is a guy that would fit pretty darn well yeah I think he’d be a good fit and his contract is something that is something you’re going to have to take into account as well with just a couple years
And about $20 million a year on that uh just some of the pros for DeAndre Hunter obviously is on ball defense he’s one of the better on ball Wing defenders in the league you mentioned his catch and shoot three-pointers and like he’s at 40.4% this year I automatically add a couple
Of percentage points when anyone’s playing next to Luca so you could expect that to to raise even at at the minimum it’ll stay uh stay stagnant and then he’s efficient in the mid-range as well he’s a good mid-range player he’s not a great driver to the hoop he’s not a
Great slasher but when he gets into the mid-range that 15 to 18 feet uh he can make those as well well and we’ve talked about it recently this is a team that likes to shoot a lot of jump shots you can find someone that can knock him down
A little more consistently that would certainly be a plus now with Pros there are typically cons he does have a bit of an injury history he doesn’t create much uh and off ball he’s not the best defender so you know it’s kind of matchup to matchup base but I still
Think in general he is a very good Defender he’s just a better on ball Defender yeah he he hasn’t played since December 20th he had surgery on his knee to clean up he’s only played in 24 games this year and he’s kind of missed time
In each of his uh four or five years so far in the league so that’s something to Monitor and the Mavericks also have a bunch of guys who are like that who are injury prone not fit right in yeah not the least of which is Kyrie iring who by
The way will miss his fourth consecutive game tonight after saying he’s not going to miss any games that’s neither here nor there getting off topic but uh here’s a trade idea that I kind of cooked up this is kind of what the athletic said the trade value would be a
Prospect a late first round pick SL a couple of seconds so I went ahead and put Jaden Hardy in a first round pick in there and then uh Seth Curry and bran Holmes the salary match I mean look I would make that trade right there in a
Heartbeat um if you had to go with Dwight pal instead of Seth Curry or something like that I’d be fine with that as well um listen I mean the injuries are a bit of a concern but it also lowers the price tag for what he
Brings uh to the table um I think if you get DeAndre Hunter you need to do it without trading Tim Hardway Jr although Tim’s last few games he hasn’t been great but I don’t think Hunter’s in that category of good enough play where I’m
I’m shipping out thj to do it so I mean I’d probably do this trade man I mean I know you only have one first round pick uh to unload but like I think the risk is worth the reward with the Andre Hunter man if he’s healthy and he’s
Playing his best ball he could really help this I mean I just think of like a closing lineup and big if because we were talking off camera I mean this is the concern with Kyrie not just some of the Antics but that he fix misses time
But let’s just say in a perfect world he’s healthy especially uh in the postseason a bourt of Luca and Kyrie Tim and DeAndre Hunter on the wing with Lively at the five like if that’s your closing lineup I mean you’re going to compete with teams dude like you’re
Going to have a chance uh you know in crunch time against these top playoff contenders so he just feels like you’re a you got to get healthy with your key players and B you got to add another player to the nucleus and I think DeAndre Hunter could be someone that
Provides just that yeah I’m in on DeAndre Hunter man he’s only 26 years old still he’s just coming into to the prime of his career if he can get the injury situation figured out hopefully that knee is uh he’s on the menend I hope he’s able to play soon and if he is
I think this is a guy that the Mavericks should explore trading for now I’m not sure exactly what the package is this is kind of what I had but overall I I have a level of interest in DeAndre Hunter forer what’s your level of interest in Hunter you guys watching right now scale
One to 10 one being not at all 10 being varied I’d probably go like an eight like I I mean I could probably find a few other names I’d have more interest in like I’d still in a hypothetical World prefer like a Kyle kusma um more
Of that pure four who who can create a little bit better but he also cost more so uh scale from 1 to 10 I’d probably give it an eight or so we’ll talk about Harrison Barnes here in just a few moments but first we want to tell you
About today’s sponsor that is prize picks I made a boatload of money on Championship Sunday in the NFL during the Chiefs Ravens game and ners and Lions game you guys can as as well price picks.com CNS use the code clns to get a deposit match up to
$100 little thre player entry here as the Super Bowl is 13 days away I like the more on Christian mcaffrey I was surprised that the Ravens didn’t run the ball at their running backs more against the Chiefs I think the 49ers will try to get that going how can you go against
Travis Kelsey right now and he he’s been absolutely cooking in the playoffs give me the more on his receiving yards uh then George KD I think think he bounces back after a quiet NFC Championship game 10 to win 50 here with the Super Bowl here there’s tons of more or less uh
Numbers you can uh place your money on with priz picks priz picks.com CNS use the code clns to get that deposit match up to $100 link is in the comments and in the description get started today all right Coupe I feel like the last couple of years at the deadline there’s been
Some oh could Harrison Barnes end up back in Dallas and this year is no different he is taken a bit bit of a step back this year I think probably more than anything else due to just young players ersing in sacamento I don’t know if it’s he’s taking a step back rather than
Keegan Murray’s taking a big ke Murray’s been really good and I you could argue what you’re saying is accurate because look at Barn splits I mean one of the more efficient years of his career almost 42% from three still 48.5% from the field um Sacramento has a ton of
Depth they’re loaded I think Barnes would actually play a bigger role in Dallas if I’m being completely honest that’s how good of a nucleus Sacramento has buil up Kudos them we saw them the other night yeah I I think Barnes definitely would have a role to play
Here not not the least of which because he’s kind of familiar with how Luca plays now they only played what was it 30 games or so together uh wait what or was Barnes traded the year before he was traded the year before so never mind they didn’t even play together but can’t
Even remember that honestly yeah he was traded in the 1819 season so I don’t know what I was talking about there but anyways uh Harrison would have a he’d have a role to play here for sure I think he he still is a three-level
Scorer he can go to the rim he can shoot the three we know about his mid-range ability especially what he did in his time here as well uh he can defend a little bit he’s 67 but he can defend bigger guys because he’s really strong
And has a low base so I think he could help the Mavs there as well and obviously his leadership ability everyone knows what he can do off the court and he could get this team together and I think this team is missing a little bit of leadership
Ability obviously you look to luk and Kyrie for that but it never hurts having another guy who can do that as well I like that he’s had a ton of different roles in his career like he was kind of just a role player in Golden State comes
To Dallas although for a brief time he was in this role but he was the number one guy here for a while and kind of carried that and then you know he kind of takes a back seat goes to Sacramento kind of really brings his intangibles
And helps that team become what they are now I think uh which is a true Tinder in the west he’s kind of taken a backseat the point is is like he’s been a high level starter he’s been a guy that comes off the bench he’s been a number one a
Number two he’s been a number four a number five he’s got uh he’s considered a great teammate like I I think he would add a lot to this basketball team that’s been in a little bit of a funk as and officially he did play with Luka I had
To look it up to make sure he did yeah it was 49 games that season before he got traded mid game I remember that so that I do remember the mid game that was crazy so there is Pros some of the cons for him I think he’s a little bit
Overpaid he’s in the first year of a threeyear $54 million deal right now so about 17 million a season basically on the T contract and you would Tim’s like good games are not what like Barnes exactly so so I think he’s a little bit overpaid it’s not something that isn’t
Manageable but he probably makes a little bit uh too much for what he’s doing right now and I would say he is on the down slope of his career I’m not saying he’s like completely in the gutter but there’s definitely some regression there as we showed you with
The numbers and again that could be a product of what Sacramento is just trying to do with their rotation and whatnot yeah um and yeah I don’t think like he’s going to provide as much defense is like a uh a DeAndre Hunter does um I think Hunter’s length gives
Him a better chance to play some four if you need him to as well so yeah I mean out of these two I would prefer Harrison bar or DeAndre Hunter uh but familiar face a guy who could play in this rotation certainly wouldn’t be opposed to it so here’s the trade idea Coupe
Cooked up up Barnes in a second to Dallas for kba and Seth Curry I’d probably do this one too man like look I think if if Sacramento just wants to get off that contract and they view him as someone who’s just you know stunning the growth of akan Murray or whoever else
They want to play maybe they add a second round pick to get rid of him and the Mavs can get off some of their salary in kleba and Seth as well it’s a deal I’d consider making you obviously could interchange Seth and Dwight pal they make the same amount of money but
It’d be something I would I would heavily consider if I were the Mavericks or Seth Curry he’s going to get traded again is he he might man I mean he’s not playing in this rotation right now and I know he loves Dallas so much but the
Mavs keep trading him this is the third time he’s been in Maverick and he might be the third time he gets moved oh man we’ll see what happens uh sure he’s holding his breath over the next 10 days pick one who would you rather have type
DH for DeAndre hunter or HB for Harrison Barnes let us know who you would rather trade for I think CP and I would prefer Hunter but Barnes is probably cheaper so it all has to factor in there all right guys appreciate everybody for tuning in to Dallas Mavericks today we will

QUOTE: Sam Vecenie of The Athletic (On De’Andre Hunter)
“His skill set is polarizing for scouts league-wide. Some evaluators love Hunter’s ability to take on tough defensive matchups against bigger, longer wings. At 6-foot-8 with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, he’s always been a terrific on-ball, one-on-one defender who can at least make life harder for the league’s best scorers.”

d hunt defense been definetly way worse last 2 years but he aint bad
”If he’s healthy…”
I feel like Mavs have had enough of experience with that kind of players.
Level of interest: 3-4
Every day it's a different made up rumor
Deandre hunter absolutely barnes nah im good hed prob cost a first and not worth
Homestly i wish wed play omax over grant or green or gi e him some of they minutes
Mavs trade rumkrs thats all it is they wont make any trades all they doing is wasting kyrie and lukas years keeping oowell green and hardy they need to trade all this bums the way they going they wont even make the olayofs this year
Since bot you guys put THJ value so high, I have to questiom your Basketball knowlwdge. Do you watch the games or do you only read the stats?! Don´t you guys see how awful this man is on defense? The closing lineup with him Kyrie AND him is defensively the main reason why Mavs cannot stop anyone. Mavs should start a huge party as soon as he leaves the team!
This why I don’t take this serious it’s just a rumor but I’ll take Harrison Barnes back
Dum azz trade they came up with, yall need to go cover them other teams yall cover keep da MAVS out yall mouth
mffl
We are just one more rumor from Kurt Thomas being a Mav again. Can't wait!
Yall need to stop the "next to Luka" filter, the problem we have is everyone is built for Luka to carry them and Seth/Grant/DJJ aren't automatically thriving from 3 now. It's a much smaller impact than yall take it as
Here we go again another trade scenario ain't you guys tired of this
Get someone who can be on court every night…get rid of Kyrie and Maxie ..they are rarely available
HB is not over paid, he has however BEEN underutilized, been being the key word. Finally Mike Brown woke up and is using the man. There is no way the Kings entertain this if presented. Sorry, yeah this would make all too much sense, so much so that you know that it’s not realistic. Have a nice day.
It would be good if you guys reported on potential trades the Mavs are genuinely looking at. All theoreticals are becoming more boring by the episode. Making up stories for a new post is tiresome
I wouldn’t give up a first for just him. They have to throw in capela at least
