Not a salary match. Once next year's salaries kick in you could do JJ and THJ for him though. I'd do that too, he's the prize in any trade with the Bulls IMO. Bulls got him for Jabari Parker, Bobby Portis and a protected 2023 second rounder. Not sure if THJ and JJ alone are on par with that package which I'm sure is at least the value they would want to extract from a trade, but that is a decent starting offer esp if THJ shows well in the playoffs.

I'll gladly take Jrue from them if the asking price is fair...

(08-13-2020, 11:04 AM)StepBackJay Wrote: Turner makes no sense bc Turner would have to play the 5 and the Mavs have decided to put KP at the 5 so that they can play 5 out. The Rox are doing this to the extreme with guys all 6'7 and under. The Mavs have the advantage of having KP who plays like a guard at 7'3 but who can also block shots. Turner could exist in this system but only at the 5. So I doubt there's any scenario where Mavs make that kind of move.

Snell I think is a good 3D option. I still think Aminu would be a good move as you still have to guard him on corner 3s. I would be surprised if the Mavs got him bc I think they wouldn't want to add his salary but to me from a talent/fit perspective Aminu for Wright would make sense for both teams.

Wright and #31 for Lonzo Ball (I'd probably not do it if they required the #18 instead of #31, I don't know)

This is a stretch, I get it, just hoping to capitalize on some New Orleans drama and their sticker price shock from having to pay Ingram. This does give them a clear cut second string PG and allows for Jrue to be the only PG in the starting lineup.

THJ and JJ for OPJ

If he's as gettable as SBJ says, I'm all for it.

MLE for Christian Wood (more pipe dreaming).

Draft Josh Green who will develop in time to replace Curry when he gets too old.

Luka/Brunson/vet min
Ball/Curry/Green
OPJ/DFS/vet min or MKG
Wood/Kleber/vet min or MKG
KP/DP/Boban

Straight up for Josh Richardson makes a lot of sense for both teams. We need defense. They need cheap elite outside shooting.

(08-13-2020, 11:22 AM)ItsGoTime Wrote: Now that he's distanced himself from his father, I wonder if Lonzo would be a good fit here? Good defender, good secondary ball handler and distributor, picked up his 3% very well this year (37.5% on 6.3 att). Only real complaints I have looking at his numbers is his TOVs, FT% and overall FG%, which are all pretty dang bad. 

He'll be 23 to start next season so he fits our timeline. That also says he's still developing which is good to mold him with our coaching staff still. If he's available for somewhat cheap (seems he'd be easier to pry from them than Jrue would be, esp if his team has a problem with him, which is a red flag though) and passes some type of inquiry on why this report came out I think I'd be all for that. Those who are looking to add Dunn, I'd think they'd be all over this too

That Lonzo deal ain´t happening in a million years. Lonzo/Ingram/Zion. That´s their core.

OPJ is very available imho. Bulls will look for the financially most advantageous offer. Given that nobody in the world will absorb his full salary, I think the previously mentioned scenario with $12.5M cap relief for next season is realistic.

Burke and MKG would be deep bench guys, number 11 and 12, but could serve certain uses quite well - MKG as situational defensive stopper, Burke as a microwave. The one who really pisses me off (in advance) is WCS. I know he's away from the bubble for reasonable family issues, but I have a sense that he and the Mavs have given up on each other, that there's a sense that "the experiment didn't work out." Horse pucky. Look at his numbers here. He was a rich man's Powell in the best way, whereas Powell is going to be a poor man's Powell coming off of injury. But let's pay Powell five times as much to be one fifth as good.

I didn't understand why Burke was so expendable last year when his play on the court was reasonably good. We love our AARP JJB.

Agree on MKG. Not sure about Burke. Out on WCS.

Vet min for MKG and extended shooting practice during the offseason. Maybe even start from scratch and completly rebuild his jumper. If possible bring in Dirk or even Holger to help him. MKG as a defender and hustle player is useful as a 10 mins of the bench guy. MKG with an at least average jumper is a starter. Classic low risk high reward move.

Burke is hit or miss every single game. Basically a smaller THJ. Just as streaky but on a good night he can carry the scoring load. I just don´t see any minutes for him. Brunson is younger and better. Curry is better. Mavs don´t have enough minutes for another undersized guard. If he is willing to sit on the bench as the 3rd or 4th option at PG sure. Otherwise no. Obviously on a vet min deal.

WCS won´t be as cheap as the other two. He also is easily replaced by any average rim runner. Wright, Powell...doesn´t matter. Whoever plays that role in RCs offense looks good. Would rather add a cheap in free agency or the draft. Also don´t think that the Mavs will move Powell or Boban. No roster spot for another pricy non shooting big.
