There isn't even much salary cap savings - a little in year 2 and the entire year 3
No way it is 27, could be the 30 SRP. Other than that, the difference between McGee and Green (roughly same salary) is huge. I mean, it makes sense that they don’t want to get rid of him in that way, also makes sense we don’t want to give any more. I think we’ll be roughly fine with or without him, they on the other hand could have him even more upset. He just watched Crowder sit out being disgruntled, I wouldn’t be surprised if he does the same.

If that’s Dallas, forget trying to get him the rest of his career.

I assume that team was Dallas, but maybe not. If so, doubtful he’d want to come here for the MLE. He’ll either get a bigger offer or have a few teams offering him that same offer.

So the rumored Mcgee inclusion was the hold up. No way Mavs walk away from this deal. They want Mcgee in there so we can keep the full MLE. I suspect they would waive Reggie to make that happen if they had to.

Even if it wasn't Dallas, just like Brunson he wants to start.  Why would he play behind Luka and Kyrie? Dallas needs a power forward badly. They have guards and Greeen can pass as a small forward. There is a big hole at power forward especially if you face a bigger team like Denver, Minnesota, Lakers, or even Golden State. Who is guarding Gordon, KAT, Hachimura, or Green? Who will help the center rebound? The best power forwards available are Harrison Barnes, grant Williams, and Trey Lyles. Not sure how good of a defender Trey Lyles is but he seems to be available.

It sure feels like the Ayton deal will happen eventually. They're way too close to let a smaller detail derail it.

I'm on the fence about Ayton, but if you can get him in exchange for 1-3 bad salaries (depending on one's viewpoint) then I think you gotta do it.

I keep hoping I’m going to be wrong about something, but over the last 2-3 years I’ve been right about each and every depressing concern. 

Well, except for Dinwiddie. He was better than I expected. 

But about what type of center actually works in the league today? No, I’ve been right on the target with anything even juxtaposed to that conversation, conceptually.

If the report is even true, I wonder if this is because 1) Dallas has a commitment from an MLE guy already 2) the financial restrictions of taking on Ayton 3) Dallas wants to remain flexible.  

I really need to think more about Ayton.   I change my opinion often.  I thought this was dead when they drafted Lively.   I don't know what to think.

Like others, i'm on the fence with Ayton. For several reasons. I wont even bring up money/contracts as that's an obvious issue.

1. I'm not sure we need him anymore. I like Richaun Holmes. I think he has something left. Add in minutes from Lively, Kleber, and yes even McGee. Probably re-sign Powell. The center spot is better than last year.

2. I don't want to help Phoenix. They have no depth and want to dump Ayton to spread his money over 2 or 3 role players. Smart play on their part. As i mentioned, i like Holmes. And THJ off the bench for them would be a nice addition.

I'm not sure they'll find 2 better players for that Ayton contract. I want no part of helping out the Suns.

I was out on Ayton but at some point the value becomes so low you have to do it. He's a top 10 Center in the league and although you'd rather have a cheaper stop-gap until Lively is ready, you can more than likely move Ayton in 2 years for a greater return than what your giving now. He will become easier to move as his contract has less years and I have no doubt he will continue to be a 18/10 guy here.

Definitely on the fence and I've gone back and forth a million times.  For me it comes down to the unknown, Richaun Holmes. 

If his demise is overblown and he can still be that player he was before last season,  then we need to keep him.   He can bring similar production for a third of the cost.

THJ+Holmes+McGee..

..or the Mavs walk away..
That should be the stance.

Suns WILL bite, that's how desperate they are.
If they don't.. I'm not gonna feel bad about it.
And so would a lot of Mav fans.

If ever though: C rotation should be just 2 man deep, with a Maxi cameo every now and then.


RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: Collins to UTA for Gay+2nd| Mavs tried to trade for Ayton? - ThisIStheYear - 06-27-2023

Holmes and Ayton are both distressed assets with potential to find or regain their form. But if I’m betting on one of them, it’s definitely Ayton. He’s younger, bigger, and more skilled. He also hates Phoenix for whatever reason. Teaming up with another player in his draft class could be a motivator.
