So much hype about 2021 FA, but I dare to say it is better for us to go after 2020 FA crop consisting of a couple of proven players like Van Vleet, Fournier (probably opts out), Gallo, Bogdanovic, Montrezl and Harris. Mavs don't have a difficult task to create cap space this year. Assuming free agency is our plan - not discussing possible trades here.
1. Does anyone think CP3, LBJ and Blake Griffin decline their PO in 2021? Even if they do, should we really take a trip to whatever nursing home they will be residing in their advanced age at that time?
2. Things will have to go terribly wrong in LAC for George and Kawhi to decline their options. This season might already give an indication about possibility for that to happen
3. Hayward, Conley, DeRozan, Aldridge and Lowry will all be playing cards with the number 1 group somewhere in Florida.
4. I assume 100 % reliability Davis resigns and is off the market by 2021
5. Schroeder, Oubre, Winslow, Richardson and Dinwiddie are all basically same quality as 2020 crop. However, there is only so much competition in 2020 - will be much higher in 2021. Miami and Toronto are the the only serious teams in 2020 with possible cap space. If you enjoy playing for loosers like Charlotte or Detroit, good luck to you.
6. This leaves The Freak, Oladipo and Gobert as the only possible prize signings in 2021. With Gobert not really a good fit for us.
Unless Mavs know something they shouldn't know, I would definitely go for 2020 options. How about you?
