MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[SleepingHero]

I would think Conley is super-available. Without a pick. Just send UT some expiring junk, and take him.

But the 2-year contract for Conley may be a deal-killer. He seems to be on his last legs. May not even be useful for the first year, it's hard to say.

And I don't see a trade match. Mavs don't have enough expiring contracts for UT. (I can't see BKN having any interest in that 3-way.)

In such a trade UTA gets 2 expirings (and I'd assume cash) which I think is more than enough for them.

The only rationale I have for the Nets is that Harris has been destroyed by injuries the last couple of years and is getting on in age. He's a knockdown shooter but can't necessarily defend well. He's also 31. Timmy is younger, a more dynamic scorer, and is on a descending contract. It's close enough in my head that the Nets *could* be interested. They're hurting for depth too. 

I just don't see a contending team with enough expiring's AND a role where Conley makes sense other than Dallas. Even if Conley declines he's way way better than any one else available.

I'm a Kemba fan for a limited minutes guy who could step up and provide offense when Luka and Dinwiddie are out. The news on him is all you have to do to get him is offer a contract and Detroit will buy him out.

I also fail to see how Dragic couldn't get 20ish min per game with us. He will prove to still be a quality player with Lonzo out.

My biggest problem with Kemba is his knees. He's on his 2nd contract buyout in 2 years. Thats enough to tell me the writing is on the wall and his NBA career is effectively done at this point.
