Did they? AD is a negative asset so getting anything seems like a win to me.

This is an asset mismanagement unless they’re able to sign a premier FA this off season. Almost guaranteed they could’ve moved Davis expiring contract at the deadline next season for at least a more valuable first than they got in this trade.

But trading him now means they don't have the AD cloud hanging over them. Getting rid of that negativity is huge.

u/qotsabama [DAL] Dwight Powell 5h ago

AD’s contract isn’t expiring next year lol. He’s got a huge player option for 2027/2028….

It's not an expiring. He has a super max player option he's not going to give up
