I can almost hear the MBT now "Sometimes the best move is to make no move at all. There were no trades available that would move the needle so we stayed pat. We are currently fourth in the West and that is with key players being injured. Once everyone is healthy, we anticipate finishing in the top four in the West and competing for a Championship. Besides, we like our team (we've got some cool dudes)!".

Well the Mavs jumping on the Kyrie things tells me they don't have shit worth of backup moves right now.

But considering the West is trash outside of 2-3 teams, you have to go for it now. The fact that we are in 4th place with how bad our team is outside Luka is nothing short of a miracle. ANY improvement is good improvement.

Mavs talking with Nets about a Kyrie Irving trade, give them Dodo and THJ. That would give us another consistent 20 point scorer. We would be a championship level team. Kyrie told Nets he is not re-signing with them. Nets need to get anything for him.

That would be nice huh? Try Spence/Wood for Irving and you're closer...

Only way I do that is if Kyrie signs an extension with us now. If Kyrie were to walk and we lost Spence and Wood and don't get anyone in free agency we'll lose Luka down the road.

That?s a classic Cuban deal I could see happening.

Shiii. Ain't no way. I want a better team, but that ain't it.

They have no leverage. He wants out and isn't re-signing with them no matter what. He's a 40 game rental if he stays healthy. At best he is half of his normal value right now.

I'd be hesitant to include Wood because we need a talented big man. If they want Din/DFS, then I'd probably do it.

Agree 100%.

Here are some hypotheticals just to to check the temperature of the group:

Would you be willing to include a future first round pick for Lavine? For Bojan? For Bamba? For Kyrie?

How about Hardy for any of the above?

How about Josh Green for any of the above?

How about Wood for any of the above?

Just curious.

I would include one or two future 1sts for Lavine or Kyrie if Kyrie signs an extension with us. I would not include Green because we are trying to win now and Green helps us win now.

Lavine ia the only one Im entertaining giving up Josh for. I think hes about to uncork. If not this season he will by next season.

I'm not including Wood for anyone aside from maybe Lavine either.

Idc too much about the picks unless you start piling them on.
