The Mavs aren't that far from winning a championship. Right now I believe many of these combo guards will be under valued. A undervalued player is something the Mavs will have to find inorder to upgrade this roster.
If someone has better options please list them.
Anfernee isn't undervalued though... he's being paid $25,892,857 next season.
Someone who is undervalued... Coby White... who is being paid $12,000,000 next season.
So, it would be easier for the Mavericks to send out matching salary for Coby White (let's say THJ goes out in a hypothetical trade)... and then still have contracts left to send out for another upgrade too, for example, swapping Josh Green for Caruso or Thybulle. Or vice versa.
Anyway, I like the idea of adding another high-level combo guard (rather than rely on Hardy or THJ to be that)... not to play alongside Luka and Kyrie though... but to come off the bench or step in when one of Luka/Kyrie is injured, so the Mavericks can hopefully always have two reliable creators/scorers on the court. Also, to be a replacement for Kyrie in the future as he ages (which rules out players like CJ McCollum, who is too old... and also way overpaid).
