Mavs & Nuggets

[Dallas Mavs (Kyle)]

Mavs trade:
Ajay Mitchell 1.27 / 1.34 / 1.4 / 2.53
2025 IND 2

Nuggets trade:
Brook Lopez 10.5 / 10.5 / 10.5 / 10.5 / 10.5 (Nuggets cover 8M this season)

Mavs accept. Think Lopez at 2.5m will be a solid contract for me this year. Will cross the next year bridge when we get there, but don't anticipate Lopez hanging around to play out the last couple years of this deal. Was the bidding war necessary Free/Lor  !?

Had Ajay really high on my board and he tore it up at summer league and is an OKC guy so hate to let him go but think this makes me better in an important year. I'm asking for a lot of cap coverage so gotta give up a real piece. Nice dealing Kev.

edit: Carlson to gleague slot Lopez to active

[Denver Nuggets (Kevin)]

I accept, i have the cap so might as well use it to acquire assets. Happy to have my fellow UCSB baller on the Nuggs now, he will have a big role immediately within our franchise

[New York Knicks (jsood)]

Approve. I could see this working out for both sides. Nice for Kyle to turn a good summer league performance from a 2nd round pick into a decently priced depth piece. Also think getting Ajay for signing a guy for free is decent for Kevin too. Will say I think Blo clearly regressed last year and could continue to regress.

[Blazers GM (Tyler)]

Approve

Risky move with BroLo expiring IRL after this season. Should be a nice deal for this season and ultimately didn’t give up a ton imo

Nice work

[Orlando Magic GM (Sarge)]

waste of cap by kev imo. would rather try to sell something else at the deadline using that cap for a future first
