According to <strong data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1505\">ESPN\u2019s Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst<\/strong>, trading <strong data-start=\"1515\" data-end=\"1552\">Anthony Davis and\/or Kyrie Irving<\/strong> is considered the <strong data-start=\"1571\" data-end=\"1591\">optimal strategy<\/strong> for the franchise\u2019s rebuild.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1942\">Dealing either star would allow Dallas to <strong data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1692\">bottom out this season<\/strong> and pursue a top pick in the <strong data-start=\"1722\" data-end=\"1740\">2026 NBA Draft<\/strong>, which they fully control \u2014 a rare opportunity before 2031. It would also help the Mavs gain <strong data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"1858\">future draft capital<\/strong> and create <strong data-start=\"1870\" data-end=\"1892\">salary flexibility<\/strong> for long-term planning around <strong data-start=\"1923\" data-end=\"1939\">Cooper Flagg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1944\" data-end=\"2169\">However, <strong data-start=\"1953\" data-end=\"1980\">age and injury concerns<\/strong> could make fair trade value difficult to obtain, with Davis also <strong data-start=\"2046\" data-end=\"2068\">extension-eligible<\/strong> next year.
