Dallas sends a 2025 second via Toronto and two 2028 seconds in the deal, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/JuUa0lEI7O

Man the Raptors second round pick next year is really valuable. It's going to be a top 35 pick… That pick was probably required to get the deal done, just really sucks. THJ hosed us hard in so many ways.

Ya it does but we weren't really going to be able to keep it regardless. We still have our own FRP next draft (which is gonna be one of the deepest in a while) and I don't think we could afford to roster 2 rookies.

Ah I didn't realize we had our own pick in 2025. Tank time?

Teams that are currently hard-capped:

ATL - second apron*
DAL - second apron*
GSW - second apron*
IND - second apron*

*All due to sending out cash in a trade.

HOU - first apron because they used a prior year TPE to acquire AJ Griffin
OKC - first apron because they took back…

2025 - Own
2026 - Own
2027 - 1-2 Own; 3-30 to CHA
2028 - Worst of OKC or DAL
2029 - Two most favorable of DAL, HOU and PHX to HOU then other to BRK (via DAL and PHX to BRK; via DAL or PHX to HOU; via HOU swap for DAL or PHX)
2030 - Worst of Dallas or San Antonio. Also, Spurs have Minnesota's swap, so if Minnesota is worse than Dallas, then Spurs would take that instead.
2031 - Own

DJJ switched to being represented by Rich Paul/Klutch.

Saw that, but I'm not too concerned yet. If he wants to get $15-20 million he'll have to take it from a bad team. Mavs are the best team that can give him the full MLE, I'm pretty sure.

The mavs relationship with Klutch also isn't what it used to be. Pretty sure Lively is a Klutch guy.
