Hmm... good point. It looks like they might be able to just squeeze it in with a few smaller moves after the draft once the new year starts. So maybe I'll take back the illegal comment. I'll even grant the possibility that the double-13 allocation was a simple mistake. So I'll just leave it as really hard to believe. One way or another, he'll either be proven a true insider up there with Woj or a complete fraud who will most likely fall back on new "inside info" for how this super-deal fell apart at the last minute. We'll find out soon enough, and I'll be happy to follow his new famous Twitter account if he comes through.

Might be good to accumulate assets. That's what I'm saying. The Mavs do have some assets - 18, 31, Curry, DFS, Maxi, Brunson the '25 FRP - but the usage, or misusage, of those assets could make them a worse team for '20-'21. They basically have to include between four and all seven of those listed assets to compete with the other 28 teams in the league for any particular player they want in trade in order to build the "real" starting lineup that they don't have right now. How good of a team is left when you have Luka, KP, the guy you traded for, your collection of non-assets (Wright, Powell, etc.), THJ, and between zero and three of what you didn't trade? I think it's clear that that's almost certainly a worse team than you had to begin with - sideways movement at best. The Mavs have three opportunities to add assets this summer - the MLE, wise drafting, and wise usage of your trade assets. I think they're putting themselves in a bad place asset-wise if they don't retain #18 or actually trade up. And then, as you say, the fourth - internal improvement over the next year. Their big opportunity to increase their talent quotient and their trade assets chest is in '21. That's when they can either add a monster third player like GA or KL, or split cap room into a number of players who want to play with Luka and are willing to take paycuts. That means, further, that those assets cannot just add a player or players in trade - they also need to serve as sweeteners to dump our anti-assets like Wright and hopefully Powell. Ergo, our assets are stretched too thin, and we aren't getting the players we would like without spending more in trade than we can really afford. We can beat other teams if we're willing to do what we really can't do. Is THJ a trade asset? I would argue no, rhetorically no more than KP is a trade asset. He is an asset to us as an expiring contract. We want him to buoy the team in order to attract the players we really want in '21, and then we want him to expire in order to be able to sign those players. I see the correct route with THJ right now as "keep, play, expire." He isn't likely to be sent out for another player who will expire (although I keep breaking this rule and dreaming that we'll get OPJ for THJ and some other asset). If the Mavs traded him for a long term contract, even if it's a guy who fits well with Luka and KP, you're basically punting on '21, so you had better nail that trade. This is just my variation of KL's "be prepared." I'm prepared for the Mavs 1) not to get anyone good, 2) to trade #18 for a lame, underwhelming player (Fournier is looking like the best-case scenario to me right now), and/or 3) keep #18 and draft the '20 version of Shane Larkin or Mo Ager.

Watching highlights of Luka to remind myself that there's a ton to look forward to even if the MBT Keystone Cops themselves again. In doing so, and seeing the synergy and chemistry with DFS, I need DoDo to be back with Luka and the Mavs this year, unless there's a clear-cut all-star coming back in trade.

Milwaukee to Dallas: dirk
Atlanta to Dallas: luka 2 of the best trades made in the last 25 years and I’m counting we won those drafts as well. None of the other trades or drafts matter compared to results like that. Everything else is window dressing. We got our guy. Trust the people who have a championship track record

Bleacher Report says we want Gallinari. Website I've never heard of says Hield wants us.

My nightmare ("be prepared") offseason:
We trade all of Curry, Maxi, DFS, Brunson, 18, and 31 for Dinwiddie and Green in separate deals. We can't dump Wright in the process. WCS opts out and leaves in free agency. We chase Dragic with our MLE and lose out on other decent prospects in the meantime (he goes back to Miami on the cheap when we were offering him the full MLE). We try to keep Trey Burke, but he's already gone since we were waiting on Dragic. We bring back JJB to be our backup PG. We spend the full MLE on Meyers Leonard because there's no one left. Luka/JJB Dinwiddie/Wright (still in RC's doghouse) THJ/Green/Jackson (couldn't dump him either) Leonard/Powell KP (injured most of the year since he doesn't have an adequate backup)/Bobi We end up in the lottery, but the Knicks have our pick. Luka and Duffy demand a trade. Hope that gave some of you a catharsis. Hope it isn't the case.

^^^^ So it was written, so it shall be.
Also, since it's 5 am and I'm definitely sleep deprived, I'm going to throw out this wild idea and I'm gonna say I called it when it happens. Rockets trade Harden to the Nuggets. 4 team deal. DEN: Harden+Tucker+Rivers Hawks: Jrue Holiday+Will Barton+22 Pelicans: Russell Westbrook+Dwayne Dedmon HOU: 6+13+ the next 4 draft picks from Denver w/ swaps+2022 OKC first from ATL+2023 NOP 2nd from ATL. Gary Harris+MPJ+ BolBol+Jaxon Hayes Hawks send out- Dedmon(Dead money they're looking to get rid of) and 3 picks for Jrue. Pels send out 13+Holiday+Hayes for Westbrook. They get their star and replacement guard and Westbrook can go back to being the main guy. Denver spends the most. Sends out 5 picks, 4 going to Houston along with Harris, MPJ, Bol and they get the prize in the trade along with 2 solid replacement players. Houston gets 8 picks for Harden, 7 first rounders. They get a young up and comer in MPJ. A guy that can maybe be more if given the opportunity in Harris. They get off their 2 biggest contracts and also take a flyer on 2 big men.
