Kemba's contract is less expensive than Bullock. Kemba would be here for shot creation, not defense. Dude can get buckets. Bullocks been a pretty big bust for us to this point. I call this trade the pencil eraser as both New York and Dallas would be correcting offseason mistakes.

As far as other teams. The Hawks are getting back on track and have been playing well lately. So they may back off any bigger trades now. Unless they get one that is a no brainer.
On the other hand, the Kings are blowing up. They need to re-set and move 3-5 players imo. Just start over. Quick playing with the hope you make a playin game. Blow that sucker up!

- While rival personnel continue positing Dallas will have to choose one of Jalen Brunson or Dorian Finney-Smith to sacrifice ahead of their upcoming free agency windows, the Mavericks have expressed a confidence they will be able to retain both key contributors. To do so, Dallas will need to stave off the expected advances from New York for Brunson.Meanwhile, Finney-Smith is said to be searching for roughly $15 million in average annual value this offseason.
I figured Dorian would get to 15m in the 3rd or 4th year of his deal.
