    Mavs giving us 10th pick for 20th and trash…..hard to believe they’d be dumb enough to do that.

    I actually agree, but I’m operating under the assumption it’s part of another trade.

    A 10th pick in a draft is very valuable. We would need to give up Martin and KPJ or Martin and another 1st round pick….we gave up two 1st round picks for Sengun…late picks. I would give up 20th pick, TyTy, Martin and Garuba

    With the Suns loading up, it may motivate the Nets to consider bottoming out to get off the mediocrity treadmill. This is where the Rockets can take advantage of their situation.

    Not necessarily... Mavs have one of the worst contracts in NBA RN (Bertans) + ATL needs to move some $$$ off their books.

    I could totally see
    ATL: 20 (via HOU) + Tate Hawks get under tax + add depth player + pick they can flip
    DAL: Capela (ATL) Dallas adds Capela + has $20M to spend in FA (make Luka happy)
    HOU: 10 + Bertans (DAL) Rox pick up another lotto pick & can dump Bertans at trade deadline or buy him out cheaply next season

    Ayton to the Mavs.
    Tate/KJ/Kleber/#20 to the Suns.
    #4/#10/KPJ to the Hornets.
    #2/Hayward/Bertans to the Rockets.

    Basically the Rockets get Scoot by taking on a bunch of garbage and throwing in #20.

    This is great news if true, I mean honestly I'd like to keep 20th pick as well just give them our 2024 picks cuz that class sucks ass apparently.

    10th would be a nice supplement to the 4th pick to round out the team. If Rox pick Amen, then at 10 guys like Taylor Hendrix, Gradey Dick or Kobe Bufkin are available. If they pick Miller or Whitmore, then Black, Wallace, or even Kobe Bufkin. Or maybe they pick Ausar at 4 and get Black at 10 and have Black stand in for Amen.

    Tate and KJ Martin might be key to helping keep Luka Happy.

    I think there are guys there. You just have to be ok with quality players and not superstars.

    They don't need to.

    They will have Cam Thomas, Mikal Bridges, Nic Claxton, and max cap space in a year. Ben Simmons will be an expiring contract.

    They could trade the picks and Simmons for a fringe allstar and sign another.

    What did they have before Durant and Irving went there just to be in NY?

    Or the Mavs take Lively at 10 and he starts for 10-15 years there...

    i like this deal. makes sense for both sides... which is why it probably won't happen.

    KMJ + JC + 20 + 2nd rounder for #10 and bertans.

    i'll take coulibaly or ausar thanks.

    If it’s just a 2-team trade, I expect that this is in part a salary dump of Bertans.

    Houston: #10, Bertans

    Dallas: #20, Tate

    Trade would be announced before or during the draft, but not executed until the new league year.

    Mavs trying to win now... Lively is probably 1-2 years away from real high level production
    Gotta keep Luka happy & thin

    When you say it in that order, the league cowers in fear.

    orlando is in too good of a spot with 6 and 11 , we need this mavs trade to jump them ;)

    Orlando does have Suggs . Which is incredible potential with black and Dick
