BREAKING NEWS: Dallas Mavericks Trade For PJ Washington, Trade Away Grant Williams & Seth Curry

BREAKING NEWS: Dallas Mavericks Trade For PJ Washington, Trade Away Grant Williams & Seth Curry

You got Harrison Graham and Nick rolloff here is the Dallas Mavericks have made another Splash they love to make trades every year Nick this team is active PJ Washington to the Dallas Mavericks here are the updated trade details uh at the last minute more news came in that two

Second round picks would be heading to Dallas as well so Nick PJ Washington a couple of seconds for Grant Williams who’s really been struggling as of late Seth Curry poor Seth Curry he’s been traded by the Mavs three times in like six years now and their only tradable

First round pick right now when I saw it at first I liked it but I did have the caveat of well there’s your only first round pick you can trade but now you get two second round picks back which helps you in future potential trades whether

It’s at the deadline or the off season Etc it’s been a pretty good day for the bavs man I I I think they’ve done done pretty well what’s your reaction yeah I’m a big fan of this deal listen one of their biggest needs was front Court versatility at the four spot and a

Backup center to help out the rookie out of Duke Derrik Lively they’ve accomplished that we’ll talk a little bit about Daniel gaffer in a second but PJ someone who’s on an affordable contract he’s only making $15 million a season about about I like what he brings

To the table man he’s an athletic guy he can switch on the defensive side of the basketball um the numbers aren’t pretty in terms of efficiency but he can space the floor I’ve watched him quite a bit this season probably more than I should watch the Charlotte Hornets but he’s got

That short Corner Pocket three ability that can just be so effective for the Dallas Mavericks when you think about Luca and Kyrie getting downhill collapsing the defense oh and you can either kick it out to PJ who’s sitting there in the corner or drop it off to

The new center they acquired in Daniel Gafford I’m a big fan of these two moves and specifically PJ cuz he gives them Youth and athleticism next next to Derrick Lively or Daniel Gafford in that front Court yeah I mean look uh you needed another Center check you needed a

Four who could score check in PJ Washington they just weren’t getting what they wanted out of uh Grant Williams he started the year out great got hurt with like a minor minor injury and now he has just hit a a wall it seems like so you upgrade to PJ

Washington it cost you a first round pick to do it but PJ Washington especially last year had a career year you mentioned that the splits are a little bit down this year I would think those would increase playing next to Luca and Kyrie you’re in a really good

Situation now if you’re Dallas uh for this year and for moving forward because you have a bunch of like tradable contracts this offseason if you do decide to package some of these mid- tier contracts like Tim Hardaway next year’s on an expiring deal Washington has a tradable contract you still have

Young assets like Josh Green Jaden Hardy uh omx Prosper if you decide to want to flip one of those players in a future deal so you’ve got some flexibility and you filled needs for right now that I think are pretty makes your team pretty formidable moving forward uh for this

Season and Beyond I got to think Luca donic wakes up a pretty happy man today uh to add some more pieces Kyrie the last couple of games gets back in healthy has played really well so I think for Dallas for this year their ceiling has been elevated for sure and

If Kyrie can stay healthy you’ve got a good blend of backourt and front Court depth now Ry that I think can play Come postseason time the key is obviously the health especially with Kyrie’s history yeah I mean you could grade the trade Force AB BCD or F I’d grade it at

Probably a B+ I’m not going to go full a minus but you mentioned the ceiling of this Dallas Mavericks team just being raised that is absolutely the case I mean this team was sitting in that playin plot 78 seed right now battling for the division title if that really

Means anything to you as a Mavericks fan with the New Orleans Pelicans and now I believe they can can give the Timberwolves the Thunder probably not the Nuggets because I don’t really think Gafford PJ and Lively can really hold up against Nia yic tough match up um maybe

They could battle with the clips they’ve they beat him before um they’ve matched up pretty well with the Clips in the past I just think the front court is now just completely overhauled you just get rid of ran Holmes you don’t have to play him Maxi cber probably doesn’t get a lot

Of PT Grant Williams struggling is now off the team you replaced them with Daniel Gafford and Grant or excuse me p Washington and it’s a home run trade deadline for the mats little note I want to mention here Bobby marks uh before we get the prize picks uh he mentioned

Dallas only had three draft assets at their disposal this first round pick that trade a couple of seconds 2025 and 2028 he did add this and this is notable they are allowed to trade their 2025 first but only if their 2024 first conveys to New York it’s top 10

Protected um that will convey unless the Mavs completely uh Plum it now obviously they couldn’t trade that till the offseason but that gives you another asset offseason chip roelly uh assuming that other pick from the porzingis trade goes back to the Knicks so uh they are now in position to have even more

Flexibility this off season plus draft night that 2031 first round pick becomes tradable as well I mentioned 29 earlier that actually was in the Kyrie trade 2031 pick becomes available though uh come this off season so uh if you’re a Mavs fan wondering about what your draft compensation is that you could trade

Moving forward there is that more to come we’ll talk about the Daniel Gafford move as well for anyone who missed that uh but first let’s talk about prize picks priz picks.com CNS use the code clns it is daily Fantasy Made Easy here’s what you do you download the app

Clns link is in the comments and in the description of this video get started with prize picks today we appreciate your support you’re supporting our sponsor supports us so shout out to prize picks all right so this was the second of two trades the Mavs have made

Today uh relly we still don’t know the exact compensation here I don’t think I think it’s a first round pick heading to oh really Washington because that Stein not let me bring that tweet up so I can read it you got it all right um because

I believe they I don’t know how they got the first round pick but it’s a 2024 first round pick going to Washington you see right here um they acquired Oklahoma City’s second least favorable first round pick in the 2024 NBA draft uh that is going to Washington in return for

Daniel Gafford so that is the draft comp heading back to the DC I don’t know how they got that pick yeah I don’t but there you go I I think from a MAV standpoint you’re not that concerned because it wasn’t a pick you had initially anyway so that’s perfectly

Fine um to the points we were making earlier Roy you get a massive upgrade over ran Holmes and Dwight pal uh with Daniel Gafford and he can start if you need him to like if Derek Lively hits a bit of a rookie wall at some point I

Know he’s been a little banged up recently he’s missed some games here he can start he can come off the bench you can kind of stagger their minutes pretty evenly if you want to go that route he’s blocking over two blocks or has over two blocks per game this year I really like

Uh what Daniel Gafford brings because the the splits the win loss it doesn’t lie when Lively a misses a game they’re below 500 B when he checks out of these games Roy it is an absolute disaster not only will it not be a disaster I’m not

Sure there’s much of a drop off when Daniel Gafford goes into the game and in some areas you might actually be getting an upgrade over at Derek Lively who’s still just a rookie who’s been asked to do a ton this year so you combine that with getting PJ Washington a legit

15-point score uh that can play that four position you’ve kind of overhauled things pretty tremendously like you said in that frontt yeah I said this when we reacted to this initial trade live on our NBA now stream on chat sports like I am very bullish on Daniel gaffard I like what he

Brings from an interior perspective he’s averaging 2.2 blocks per game this season it’s a career high for him but he’s just been absolutely solid as a rim protector in Washington and boy is he tested by the amount of times that he their guards AKA tyus Jones and Jordan P gets

Driven by at the perimeter they can’t defend a lick out there so gafford’s tested a lot he’s been up to the challenge and we’ve noted how much the Dallas Mavericks need to front Court I I could argue as much as I’ve liked Derrick Lively and they high on him I I

Think Daniel gafford’s a better player I think he’s a better Defender than Lively I’ll give Lively the rebounding numbers and maybe that lob threat is more of lively specialty but I really like this move I think you can have a more veteran back up there I do I am curious to see

If they continue to start Lively yeah it’ll be interesting obviously Lively is dealing with a minor injury right now too so you’ve got that one more interesting note here Roy both Washington and Gafford are under contract of the 2526 season that is the exact timeline of Luca and Kyrie’s

Current deal so like they got a lot you kind of see what they’re lining up here like again those are tradeable you know mid-level contracts they could move if they want to between now and then but like you kind of feel feel like you’ve got like this three-year window here

Where Kyrie is still a very good player but like with his injury history like by the time this contract’s up he’s probably not a still a max player at that point Luca obviously still will be but if he’s unhappy with how the Mavs are at that point he could decide to

Move on so you got to give the Mavs credit man they are trying to improve this thing around Luca and Kyrie as they uh as they try to chase high level of success in the postseason my my my number one winner at the trade deadline I’m not just saying this for all you

Viewers at Mavericks today I I really believe that they have addressed their team needs better than anyone else so far at the trade deadline by getting PJ Washington you see the trade on screen by getting Daniel Gafford they now have a legit three-man front Court where if you absolutely needed to I don’t

Anticipate them doing this they could go small small ball PJ Washington at the five yeah he play some five five out let’s run Luca and Kyrie and give them just all the room in the world to work inside and get to the rim I think there’s a lot of Versatility that the

Mavericks can explore now with Kyrie their rotations I like to see how Jason kid um handles this but Mavs man I think they have been the clear winners of the deadline so far yeah well said what’s your one word reaction to the trade and really both trades let us know in the
