We just need a defensive stud in there that can harass the other team's best player and hit 3s on the other end.

??? Brooklyn already extended him and will be dealt for a star only. Players Brooklyn might be willing to trade for a non star are Prince and youngsters. But they would want good win now pieces back.

Danny Green and defensive stud should never be used in the same sentence.  Also he is hitting 3's terribly since the restart.  Also was bad last playoff's.

If you want a washed player taking up 15 million dollars on the cap for next season then by all means.

I would rather give his minutes, roster spot and money to more up and coming guys that can be apart of the Mavs future.

Now, there are some guys I do like (Jerami Grant) but would the Mavs like him enough to unseat Kleber/DFS in the rotation? Probably not. I feel like this will be a classic offseason of "We love our team"

• Wright who needs to go. I wouldn't even be shocked if the Mavs did some kind of trade-down to dump his money. I think he gets moved for something, not sure what
  
• Jackson who might be worth moving for something more useful. He is cheap enough that you could keep him around but he would probably like more playing time elsewhere and Mavs need vets. I could see a trade where Mavs get a vet on a 1 yr.
  
• Two picks that might add some salary cap money. Mavs have been paying their 2nd round guys pretty good money as of late. I think they'd rather move those picks that add young players who won't contribute for years unless they find guys immediately able to contribute (ala Brunson but these guys aren't necessarily growing on trees)
  
• THJ who you might at least consider moving for someone else. We will see if he continues to play well in this series. If he plays like he has the first two games I think you could make a strong case for keeping him. If he struggles you might think ab trading him for a better fitting player. THJ on a 1 year still has value. If he has a great series who could actually play himself into a new contract by opting out or leverage his way into a contract extension.
  
• You still have the MLE and smaller exception to add players even if only on 1 yr deals.
  
• Some open spots for MKG, WCS and likely Burke (who is playing his way potentially into a bigger deal than the Mavs might go for)

But NY FO and ownership would be publicly lynched in the streets of NY if Mavs somehow end up with a top5 pick next year. That's why they will not do it. It is like Phoenix and Ayton in 2018 draft. Drafting him was safe and everyone still has a job despite Luka near MVP play. Everybody would be fired if they drafted Luka and Luka turned out average or a bust.

(08-21-2020, 12:37 PM)omahen Wrote: Speaking about that secondary facilitator, I have two ideas.

1) THJ+#18 for Rozier and Bridges

Charlotte is picking Ball in most mock drafts. In this case, Rozier is completely redundant as it makes more sense for them to run with Graham and he is way overpaid for a back up. He is a good shooter though and has been a positive defender for most of his career. I am not just taking their contract as he is way overpaid and it also kills our flexibility. Charlotte as rebuilding team will also not just give away assets, so I take Bridges for a pick. Looking individually - Dallas would not trade THJ for Rozier and Charlotte would not trade Bridges for #18 - combine and it might work. Bridges is not there yet, but he has a lot of potential. Charlotte saves money and has cap space for almost 3 max salaries in 2021.

2) Wright+Jackson+#18+future second for Gay and White

San Antonio has to start a rebuild soon. I just don't see any sense for them to delay it for another season. They have almost 120 mil of committed salaries and they still might want to resign Poltl and Forbes. They really should sell expiring contracts for whatever assets they can get and hard tank for 2021 - this might be their quickest road back to relevance. With the trade proposed they do save roughly 3,5 mil in 2020. They get a serviceable back up play, expiring Jackson and a pick. White is up for extension, he is already 26 and he didn't work well with Murray. I would say SA future are Murray (23), Walker (21), Johnson (20) and Samanic (20). White is a good rebounder, ok secondary facilitator and shooter and should be what we hoped Wright will be.
