According to NBA insider Marc Stein Stein Line.
Mavericks Open Trade Jrue Holiday, Lonzo Ball and Chris Paul
Stan wrote in his latest report:
“Dallas is expected to explore at least whether there are any viable trade routes to reach the Jrue holiday in Boston – it’s complicated because that’s likely to give three years, while the holiday contract still leaves $104 million, while also maintaining interest in more reasonable trade targets as we’ve already been on DLLS Mavs Podcast: Lonzo: Lonzo Ball for Meplor for dall for Dall for Dall for Dall fo dall fo dall ins of Chris fab fail dall ins of dalls for dall ins of dall shime for dall.
Holiday averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 30.6 minutes of games on June 12, while playing 30.6 minutes this season, while shooting 44.3% from 3-pointers and 35.3% from free throws and 90.9% from the highest free throw percentage.
Each Spotac, the holiday is scheduled to earn $32.4 million next season, and $34.8 million in 2026-27. His deal also includes a $37.2 million player option for 2027-28.
The holiday contract could make the deal difficult, as the Mavericks are barely below the first batch of aprons, and have $10.8 million in the second apron space.
Paul is the more affordable choice
Meanwhile, Ball has only 35 games (14 games) this season, with an average career low of 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 22.2 minutes per game.
The 27-year-old Ball returned to court after multiple knee surgeries and a hard recovery. He has missed a lot of game time since his left knee meniscus and cartilage transplant in March 2023.
Despite his history of injury, Ball is a more affordable option for the Mavericks as he will be $10 million next season and has a $10 million team option in the 2026-27 season.
Paul turned 40 on May 6 and he has just played and has played 82 games for the San Antonio Mast. For Dallas, the 12th All-Star team will be the cheapest option as the veteran defender enters his 21st season.
Last offseason, he signed a one-year, $10.46 million contract with St. Anthony No.
