RE: MAVS NEWS: Mavs in discussions to hire Dennis Lindsay as Ass. GM - ItsGoTime - 04-23-2023

Trading Bertans instead of THJ gets the salary reduction bigger, but I’d expect they’d want more compensation than that (honestly with THJ I’d expect that too). If Green is truly a $30-35M player, that deal doesn’t compensate for him whatsoever. The salary is right, I just think our unprotected 27 will have to be the compensation. I’m on the fence about that. Green could absolutely be one of the pieces to the championship puzzle, especially with Kidd continuing to be the coach (the more coaches on the floor, the better). He just seems to be aging so poorly (add to that all the signs pointing to Kyrie aging poorly too). I think I’m more out than in.

Edit: NVM, can’t do Bertans instead of THJ in your trade structure.

If someone from the Mavs scouting/management department is not cruising this, and probably other, forums...then they are missing out on a lot of information and "possibilities".

This is not sarcasm! 

Those with responsibility to an organization--or team--who fails to use any and all tools at hand are doomed to failure or mediocrity.

Of course one also needs the ability to wade through...chaff...and recognize pertinent and applicable ideas and information.

I can definitively say that I'm not one of those people...

I think biggest motivation for GSW would be to get zero (or minimal) salary back, which means a third team. They have Kuminga, who can take Greens minutes. So they either just let him walk for nothing or help him get to a team of his choosing, but without salary going back. I don't think any of Mavs players have close enough value to offset the huge tax GSW would pay for them. It makes more sense for them to get a big TE and then use it for a better player if they want. They have nice trade assets, both in draft capital and young players, so they could easily do something that has far more value then the likes of THJ or Bullock. 

The price of dumping Bertans and McGee to a team with cap space (San Antonio and perhaps Indy are prime candidates) is imho a lottery protected first. So my ideal deal would still be:
Ind: Bertans, THJ, McGee, #10, 2027
Dal: Turner, Green,#29 from Indy
GSW: #26 from Indy

Or alternatively, if Turner is not available:
Ind or SA: Bertans, McGee, #19 from GSW
Dal: Green
GSW: #10 from Dallas

Charlotter is another option:
Cha: Bertans, McGee, #10
Dal: Green, one of young Charlotte centers (Kai Jones?) as a back up center for Dallas
GSW: #27 from Charlotte

If GSW is still willing to finance 200+ mil of salary, then the calculation gets different. Then I guess their compensation demand would be bigger.

On the other hand, the Kyrie example doesn't really support my valuation. It was pretty much obvious he would not stay in BKN, was a half a year rental, yet Dallas paid two solid players and unprotected FRP for him.

Interesting conversation.  FG and I are trying to do the Green deal deal in 22/23.  I think you may have some timing mismatches on some of your proposals.  For instance, your first Indy deal misses being legal by a bunch if done in 22/23 because you are still working off of Turner's larger salary.  The salary works using 23/24 numbers, but I think that raises different timing issues.  

The SA idea works in 22/23 because right now SA is the only team with cap room.  #19 to take Bertans and McGee seems pretty close to fair value.  Normally you think in terms of a late first being worth about $20mm in expiring salary.  Bertans is owed a total of $21mm.  So, moving up to 19 instead of something in the late 20's and taking on two years of McGee doesn't seem outrageous at all.

I'll quibble on the GS highest priority thing.  I think their highest priority is to maximize the remaining Curry/Thompson window.  Yeah, maybe they can give up assets and use a TPE to get someone better than McGee or THJ.  But, they don't have a center under contract next season outside of Looney and might lose DiVincenzo with no way to replace him other than minimum contracts.  I could see a world in which they actually value those two players and use draft assets to bring in even more players.  The tax penalties in the new CBA didn't get worse (in fact the spreading of the tax thresholds might save GS a dollar or two).  It is the ability for a Super Tax team to stay competitive that is the biggest new wrinkle.  So, I don't completely buy the 'have to find a third team' logic if the players they are receiving have any ability to contribute there.

Of course, nothing says you can't do a deal involving someone going to GS AND someone going to SA.  Let's say Reggie to GS and Bertans to SA.  Maybe the picks you outline (10 to GS, 19 to SA) changes to include 32 coming to Dallas if SA isn't taking as much salary in such a deal.  I realize some expect us to draft a future star with #10, but getting 32 would save $4mm in salary (and a ton of tax) compared to #10.  Given our historical philosophy about the value of the draft, I don't  think it would bother Dallas at all to give up #10 for #32 and turn the money that would have gone to Reggie/Bertans into Green.  I don't think SA would balk at swapping #19 for #32 for taking on a year of Bertans.  If Green is going to leave and/or GS doesn't want to pay him for multiple more years, turning the guy you don't want into a year of Reggie and a move up from 19 to 10 isn't bad either.  Maybe that's the outline we should be looking at.

Yeah, me too, but I forgot that those cap space teams will actually have cap space in July. Could we still do a deal on draft night while making it official in July?

Totally agree with what is GSW highest priority. But I could see a world where they see Kuminga getting most of Greens minutes. Moody could step up for DiVinzenzo and they have another pick in the draft for another guard or center. They could also do further moves like moving Poole for a couple of players (GSW has plenty of assets left to include in a deal).

That split salary GSW/SA proposal looks great.

Only worry I have in any Draymond scenario is Portland getting desperate and driving up the price. 

There have been long standing rumors of their interest in Draymond, and Dame is getting impatient. Of course the logical course is to trade Dame for POR, I'm just not so sure they're going to.

Draymond isn't going to turn Portland into ready-made contenders. They're kinda in the same boat as Dallas except Dallas has two all-NBA players compared to Portland having just one.  They'll need a lot more than Day-Day.

Dameris is in favor of trading the pick while Followell is more interested keeping it.

Followil is awesome, and does a good job of balancing reality against his employment, imho. 

Dameris is smart and all, but just comes across to me like a Cuban mouthpiece, in all honestly. I stopped listening to that one. Maybe I'll check out this episode on your recommendation.

One of the things that caught my eye was Nico was looking to hire someone for this role last year.  Again, why are we such slow moving on everything?    Or was it that Cuban thought he has everything figured out and not more help was needed?   Also had some rough comments on Finley.

Thanks.  I like it too, which means it stands no chance.  I imagine the draft compensation for Green is more than just a trade down up to #10.  But, I think trading for FA's and guys who can decline their option and leave is one of the hardest things to value.

I imagine there is a way to agree in June and trade in July, but it takes a lot of moving pieces to all fall just right.  My leaning is it isn't very likely.
