Not buying the Dallas interest in Thompson

This is kind of a bitch move. Why would Memphis care whether or not a team is on his list? They only care about making a trade. My thought is that his agent is spreading word that Iggy will only play for a handful of teams and depressing the trade market  I didn't think he'd be so sorry that he wouldn't play for the Mavs like many posters think, but this news makes me doubt that now.

The NBA is out of control if NBA players with guaranteed contracts can decide to just sit because they don't like the team. I would hope the team could stop sending him checks at least. This news dampers my enthusiasm on Iggy.

With Nurkic getting back they might want to go ahead and move Whiteside but his salary is crazy. If a team buys out a player does that get them under the tax or do they literally need to move his deal?

Portland: still 6,3 million above tax. Could be solved by trading Whitehouse or Ariza for something cheaper or by giving away Hood + another minimum contract. They have assets to sweeten the deal.

Miami: still 4,7 million above tax line. They would love to move Johnson and Waiters, but no one would take them especially as they don't really have sweeteners to offer. Leonard for Bobi and Jackson would work for them, but would it work for Dallas? I don't really see a deal for us here.

GSW, still 3,7 above tax line. Taking Looney would work. Burks + Robinson works but we would need to clear two roster spots. Most likely they will sell two guys for picks or cash to teams with open roster spots. Unlikely we will get in the conversation again.

OKC, 0,8 above tax. Plenty of options for them, but they will certainly do something. Gift a minimum guy to someone, sell a vet while taking less money back, move Roberson for less money... Most likely I see them trading one or more of their vets and Dallas not involved.

Houston: 0,3 above tax. Will certainly do some cap jugling, but I don't see Mavs involved.
