I would be really surprised if there was anything serious with those three guys, probably just doing favors to the agents. But it is an interesting debate how to create a roster spot for Dragic. Brown is the obvious, cheapest and most likely option. I am about 95 % sure it will be him. But still, there are plenty of other options. Personally I would be always intrigued trading WCS (or Powell) and keeping the young cost controlled prospect who can produce some in certain conditions. I also think Terry days in Dallas are numbered. Dallas still sort of have an army of mediocre players and it will be difficult to get minutes for everyone. There are also the looming extensions of Brunson and DFS hanging over Cuban wallet likely puting Mavs deep in the tax next season, if they both stay. Dumping is also just a waste of talent. So is there a 2 for 1 trade to be had? Looking at bottom feeders:
Minnesota only has 11 players under contract, least in the league. Would Terry and Burke intrigue them for Okogie? More likely Layman but I have no idea what I would do with him
How about Chicago? Terry and WCS for Troy Brown. He had one good season in Washington 2 years ago and was forgotten since then. Chicago needs wings more than anything though, so I doubt they would be interested.
How about Orlando? They also need wings, so Green and Burke for Bamba? Not that we need another center, but we could throw in Moses, if they want. Or Terry and Burke for MCW who is injured and not needed in Orlando (Mavs get 2 roster spots for next season)?
Pick collector in OKC is always looking for a deal and is a bit short at C (not that they care). Terry and WCS for Jerome, a PG that could actually play for Mavs?
Houston? Any 2 man combination of Terry, WCS, Burke, Moses for House? Or lets go big, Terry, WCS and Burke for Augustin and House
