The Dallas Mavericks are trading 10-time NBA All-Star Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D’Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Washington Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, 2 first-round picks and 3 second-rounders, sources tell ESPN.
Yeah it’s basically going to be the 30th pick since OKC is probably leading the league and a late first depending on the year and warriors record.
Trae/AD is actually a decent combo especially in the East but the question as always is how many games is AD playing. Still pretty low risk with what they gave up.
I think D’Angelo and Hardy are tough losses because they were pretty decent play makers, and I’ve always been a hater of Dante Exum, so I think this trade is overall positive.
With Nembhard playing very well at 22, Flagg at 19, and Kyrie potentially coming back after the all-star break, I have hope for the 2nd half of the season. Not play-in hopes, but the team has shown they can get to crutch time with some of the best teams in the league without some of their best players.
