The fact that you got Kyrie on the trade list is beyond ludicrous
The fact that Nick tryna urge the pels to sell Herb 😂
Instead of trade rumors how about stories of former Mavs like Roy Tarpley, Brad Davis, Sam Perkins etc.. Mavs have a history, the young fans might learn and enjoy hearing about it.
Give me Larry nance jr and Dennis smith jr and call it a day!
Backup 4
POA defender to use when needed
Herb is top 10 bro 1st team all NBA defensive team an astounding POA defender he is straight lockdown
This trade talk is boring. Right now it doesn't make sense to trade for anything that isn't a direct replacement for Maxi.
Mavs would need to lose some valuable players for almost any potential trade. Having a top PoA defender is nice but it's not worth making some crazy trades, at least as of now.
Maybe Naji can talk Herb into requesting a trade to Dallas 😄. I’m sure he’d love to be on a real contending team and be reunited with his old teammate and friend. The pelicans are a sinking ship idk why anyone with his talent would want to stay there
I would trade Gaff and 1st for Herb.
But it wont be enough.
And sorry,but i am not touching 2031 1st this deadline,Luka is 25,we need assets
I was OK with Jones when I thought it was a first round draft pick or a couple of seconds, but I’m hearing people saying they’re gonna want PJ or Gafford plus a first round pick and that is fucking hysterical! The guy is a 10/6/2 player Making 12 million a year and if you are giving away any of our top nine players to get him you are functionally retarded. There is no way Nico is that dumb.
Herb is on a great contract. NOLA will probably sell. They just won't sell Herb
I mean Herb Jones would be a great addition for the Mavs but the Pelicans would never trade him within the division and the Mavs dont have the actual assets to land Herb Jones.
He doesn't solve anything for the Mavs. The scheme isn't predicated on perimeter defense but post. Mavs got guys who are serviceable at that already in Grimes, Klay, and Naji so why gut the roster for another? The Mavs need a strong PF backup for PJ. Herb Jones is a wing on the perimeter similar to DJJ but weighing 208 pounds at 6'8 isn't going to cut it for rebounding especially giving up Gafford which is a no no.
That's what ppl seem to forget that the Mavs defense didn't turn top 10 in the league with just DJJ(Herb Jones archetype) and Lively at center but when we added another center in Gafford along with PJ. That is what changed the team.
No more 6'5" guards please. Thought we were done with that lol
Trade targets in the middle of a super positive season?
We should root for the actual roster!
What a fanbase
Issac please stop it no f en guards do you understand the words I'm saying, if they are under 6-8 or 28, we don't want or need them, not one single person you have suggested do we need or even want stop with the useless 6-6 and shorter guards, dang man, come on.
you guys are something nobody can be this Dence we don't need or want guards
Trade Luka for giannes….he is weakest link Boston will dismantle him in playoffs….okc knew that Luka is Dallas weakest link ….
You guys must talk that Dallas can't win against healthy Celtics and okc….Dallas must trade away Luka for giannes… Luka is the weakest link in the defense… Celtics and thunders build two way players… They can score and stop other teams…thats why Atlanta rose from top because of there two way players….
This is some music man
Herb Jones would be a huge piece for the Mavs if they could get him. He's a valuable asset though, so you couldnt get him for crumbs. Not sure what a trade would look like? It might be an unpopular take, but Kyrie is 32. Small guards tend to fall off pretty hard in their mid 30s. You got him when his value was incredibly low. Now is value has increased significantly. If you were able to straight up swap him for something like Dejounte Murray & Herb Jones, I think it's something they should consider. I'm not sure how Murray would fit alongside Luka, but he is an all star caliber player. Murray is 28. Naji is 27. Herb, PJ, & Gafford are 26. Luka is 25. Lively is 20. That is a solid core to compete over the next 5 years. You'd still have your Lively & Gafford center combination. Herb, Naji, & PJ have the forward spots locked down. Your guards are in MVP talks (Luka) and borderline all-star (Murray.) Klay, Grimes, & Dinwiddie behind them. Nothing wrong with Hardy, Exum, Kleber, & Powell as your 3rd string.
The reason I bring this up, I just dont think the current roster can compete against the Celtics if we make it to the finals again. I'm just not so sure bolstering our wing defense vs downgrading our 2guard spot would be worth it. Maybe Kyrie could bring you more in another trade. Just a thought to get the convo started ha.
I honestly think Mavs can make a play for Draymond Green.
Draymond is an ideal fit for Mavs- defense, assist, low turnover is what Mavs need.
It would cost them Gaf and maxi but I think have Draymond as back up Center and Pf gives the Mavs a better team. Normally Mavs have the issue they can’t play small ball but with Draymond they can make him the facilitator as a 5.
I also don’t think Herb Jones solves the Mavs issues. He would be great Addition to defense and depth. But the Mavs big issue is turnovers and playmaking.
That’s why Jimmy butler is also a great fit because he’s a 2 way sf that passes and gets low turnovers.
Issue with Jimmy is i would not give up PJ and Klay. Also I we would need a back up center
This is why Draymond is a better option solves more answers without causing problems.
Jimmy I could agree too if Kevin Love was apart of the deal so we would have a stretch 5 that can rebound. But still need to keep Klay/Pj.
If they trade kyrie be for sure luka will leave when his contract is over
That’s what I told a heckler behind me. “I’m proud of you. That’s a nice cup. Does it come with a parade?, it should come with a parade.” It was my 1st away game. The banners made me sad😂 but I did enjoy the proud to be, state of Oklahoma song and video montage😂
Naji gotta tamper for us and get Herb to request a trade
Mavs to the pels “why are you guys not being cool about this??” 😂
I don’t understand all this guard talk knowing we’re stacked at that position. I feel like with a solid backup for PJ is all we need to go all the way.
Kleber defensively is doing good but the offense freezes once he touches the ball. We need someone who’s at least a threat to drive and or shoot.
a Dorian finney Smith and Kevin love would be enough
It's crazy that the only upgrade we need is a Maxi Kleber that's confident on offense. That's the archetype
🦝🦝
Some interest name are Toumani Camara, Deni advija, Olynyk and Pat Williams
maxi + hardy for Herb works on NBA trade machine 😛
Thought Isaac was gone forever. Nice to have back. Would still like to get shows w/ Slightly
Was Isaac return always the plan?
You need Top 10 effort on D
Kleber, hardy and Omax only people worth trading with picks … get some more defence to cover for kyrie, luka and klay.
I know y'all will laugh me for this but if the Mavericks can somehow or magically pull a trade for Herb Jones for Gafford, Maxi and picks I think they can pursue Ben Simmons if the Nets buy him out.
I know he's been soft but it's a low risk high reward if Kidd can push and boost his confidence. He still a great defender, rebounder, playmaker. They can use him as their Draymond Green and a back up center for Lively since he can also play 5.
They need a backup 4 all this guard talk is just dumb
Um I don't think Hardy can be traded as that graph says and I don't think pick swaps have to be swapped. They can just trade those swaps. So they should be able to trade 26, 28, and 30 to get it up to 3.1sts
