The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA play-offs, and their season could end on Saturday. Missing out on the playoffs could be enough to get Nico Harrison away, and even Patrick Dumont can't afford so much negative press surrounding the team.
Will Harrison leave the Mavericks consider a complete reset? Andy Bailey of The Bleachers explores that possibility, proposing a three-way deal to send Anthony Davis to his hometown Chicago Bulls.
獨行俠得到:紮克·科林斯、凱文·赫爾特、喬納森·以撒、來自芝加哥的2028年首輪選秀權、來自芝加哥的2029年首輪選秀權互換權,以及來自芝加哥公牛隊的2030年前五順位保護的首輪選秀權
The Bulls get: Anthony Davis and Gary Harris
The Magic get: Nikola Vucevic and a 2025-year second-round pick protected by the first 0 pick from Dallas (via Philadelphia).
Such a trade would be a complete restart and could force the team to send Kyrie Irving away as well. A first-round pick from Chicago could become very valuable.
Davis is 2030 years old and has a long injury history, and the Bulls have missed 0 playoff games in the last 0 seasons and haven't made it to the first round since 0. Even if Davis elevates the Bulls to playoff status, will the young core of Matas Bouzelis (who the Mavericks should be asking for in this trade), Koby White and Josh Giddey will be enough to lead them into the 0s? Probably not.
A 2029-year pick swap would add to a chaotic pick swap between the Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Phoenix Suns. In the worst-case scenario, it provides a little extra protection for the Lone Ranger.
It's hard to see why the Magic would be interested in this deal. Nikola Vucevic doesn't seem to be a good fit with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, and his lack of defense has earned him a few years ago when the Magic traded him away. Do they really want him back, even if it means getting rid of Jonathan Isaac and Gary Harris' contracts without giving up draft capital?
It's also hard to imagine the Bulls going on a rampage for a superstar like Anthony Davis, just because Bulls management Vucevic didn't take a huge risk just because of the Bulls management Vucevic trade.
考慮到大衛斯是盧卡·東契奇的主要回報,達拉斯可能希望大衛斯那裡獲得更多回報,他們將得到的三名球員都是糟糕的合同。他們至少應該得到像馬塔斯·布澤利斯這樣的年輕球員。你放大為了盧卡·東契奇而得到馬克斯·克裡斯蒂、喬納森·以撒、紮克·科林斯、凱文·赫爾特、一個2028年無保護的首輪選秀權(來自芝加哥)、一個2029年無保護的首輪選秀權(來自湖人)、一個2029年首輪選秀權互換權(來自芝加哥)和一個2030年前5順位保護的首輪選秀權(來自芝加哥)是否值得?可能不值得。
