Nice discussion on Strus. He is pretty good and can help teams. Good thinking.
I just think the Mavs are thinking bigger. They may not use the trade exception but they may be closer to making a big move than we think/hope. I think they want to keep flexibility. They have a good group of contract players in their 20's at market rate. They have a few draft picks. And they have flexibility. I don't see them adding another mid teens player to get a swap. I think they have bigger plans on their next move and will prioritize flexibility. I have been wrong though lately.
