Mavs off-season and draft 2023 thread

My heart prays Kyrie stays, my head says there's a sleeper destination for Kyrie....


If Suns renounce Paul and trade Ayton into cap space this offseason they have enough to sign Kyrie outright.

Sign and trade Ayton to Mavs? I think that would be the path for the Suns.

Sign and trade whom? Ayton is on a 4/132mill contract that goes through 2025-2026

Kyrie? Suns are probably looking to replace CP, but not sure Durant still wants to play with Kyrie

Ayton would be the target. Not sure the Suns want to do it, but the catalyst would be Durant wanting Kyrie again. Don't know what happened with Brooklyn, but it seemed most of the angst was with ownership and coaching, not between players. If so, mostly towards Ben Simmons and how all that went down.

But yea, Durant would be the driver. I'm only thinking about teams that could make the new salary for Kyrie work. I'd doubt we are looking to take on a bunch of turd contracts to make it happen.
