Murray and draft compensation for Irving could be good for me.

I love Ky but he probably has only great 2/3 great seasons ahead of him at high level and we will not contender at that stage.

He's playing pretty well currently and is a positive influence and mentor to the younger players, but in all seriousness, he doesn't meet the Mavs current timeline. So, if they're offered a pretty good deal, I could see him being moved at the TDL.

NBABase: Zach Lowe says Jamal Murray could be a surprise trade candidate if the Nuggets struggle this season. “I said Jamal Murray just because if this team isn’t good, I think something is going to crack here. I’m not closing the door.”

It might be controversial, but Murray could be one of the best fits next to Coop and could work well next to Kyrie too. He does just enough facilitation and when he’s on he’s one of the most lethal scorers in the league

I think there’s a path where the Mavs could get both by trading our glut of wings.

Don’t think Denver is interested at all, but could Christie+Naji+Gafford be interesting? 3 high quality role players for Murray might be the best they could get given his contract

Trade for Murray without touch Coop, Kyrie and Rez would be and homerun of course... but i don't think Denver will take role players for him.

That contract is pretty rough, Jokic is going to opt-out of his contract after this season and will be getting a massive 5/350 supermax so money will be tight for them. Max has a PO and it would be easier to move off of the other 2 smaller contracts.

Yes but i see a discount in the next contract (ala Kyrie) and Denver has to add picks... so it's not a bad deal for me.

Man to get to $40ism million (125% of Murray) Dallas would have to trade Martin, Christie, and Sasser and then add one of PJ or Gaff. I just don't know if you want to sacrifice ALL the depth.

It would be a horrible move. Murray and Kyrie together doesn't make much sense - even less sense in the context of the positional size with shooting mission Ujiri, Schmitz and May seem to be on, and Murray is already showing signs of leaving his prime, becoming less dependably healthy and effective with each passing week. To top it off, he was drastically overpaid on this contract, even in the best case scenario of how his career would unfold over the life of the deal. I don't blame Denver - when you're in a small market and have a good team assembled around a player like Jokic, there's no choice but to pay the guys who make it go. The cycle of professional sports teams is predictable and almost impossible to outsmart. 

The only thing even worth discussing is a Kyrie for Murray exchange, and it's not worth talking about for very long because I honestly don't think it helps either team. Maybe if Murray was four years younger, but even then I don't think Kyrie gets Denver to the immediate relevance they'd want to achieve in such a deal.

Brian Windhorst: Warriors could use Kristaps Porzingis' contract as a $25 million trade exception. "It essentially functions as a trade exception, and not even that, because a trade exception allows you to acquire the player. When you trade for a player, it depends on which team is making the trade because different teams have different rules based on where they are on the apron, but you can get up to 125 percent of the salary back. It could be a 25-million-dollar trade exception that just exists because that's the thing about a trade exception: you could just trade for a player, acquire the player, and the other team doesn't have to pay. I wouldn't be surprised if they are considering exactly what you did because this was not, and I don't think the Warriors knew this. I think the Warriors were expecting him to report to camp."
