Sac - you got me here, only because of Divac, other than that, any other GM that has that team is questioning why Phi is calling them about Horford, they would say, call me back when Embiid or Simmons is your starting package, better yet, I'll call you when that is the case

I don't think the length would be a problem for the Mavs. Two issues would be 1 - additional 7 mil or so on the cap in 21 which is a big FA year for the Mav 2 - I doubt the Mavs value Horford that much.

IF you make such a deal, Horford is your 2021 free agent (sort of).

Google Jun 19, 2019 Horford Mavs.
Lots of "news" that Horford was the Mavs target. Didn't "we" conclude it was disinformation for the incoming Kemba and the outgoing Horford, that was already pre FA planned?
If it was true? the Mavs liked Horford but could not get him, my opinion is Mark and Donnie never really lose their love for a guy they want. That is why I could see this happen if they know they are out on Giannis.
I hope they have better plans in the skunk works.

If we are talking about Horford again, I agree with Omahen. You got to include Richardson in any trade w/Philly. Richardson is your 2021 FA and Horford is the juice.

Don´t think that they will resign Favors. At least not for a lot of money. Simply not a good fit next to Zion. He is a great player and one of the best defensive bigs in the league but they need a stretch big next to Zion. Favors missed a lot of games early in the season and when Zion returned as well no one realized that Favors had a way bigger on court impact. At +9.0 he leads them in on/off and ranks 2nd behind Zion in on court rating at +4.5.
Favors single handedly turned a bottom 10 defense into a top 10 defense. The Pelicans started the season 6-22. With a healthy Favors they they had a 22-14 record in the remaining games before the corona break.
Would be a great fit on the Mavs but at this point I have given up hope when it comes to Favors in a Mavs jersey. Mavs had multiple opportunities to sign him but they never showed any interest.

I would love for the Mavs to go after Favors. I think AG is a better fit age-wise, but adding Favors without subtracting anyone would put the Mavs on the threshold of being bona fide contenders next year. If the MBT seriously had no interest in Favors (as opposed to the other way around), I would view it as objective proof that they binarily did not know how to build a team around Luka and KP, and they need to be replaced in order for a Luka-KP team ever to contend.

I just got here, and I don't have the stomach to read all 159 pages of this monster thread. Where is this Horford nonsense coming from? Love the player (at least who he used to be) but don't see a fit here at all.

It's not that I think NO could lose Ball for nothing (he'll be a RFA in a year, after all). But he's clearly a few pegs down on the Pelicans pecking order, they'll likely have other financial priorities, and there are already some rumblings that he could be on his way out: https://nba.nbcsports.com/2020/08/13/rum...tner=Yahoo
Something like Wright/Brunson/18 for Ball might actually make some sense for both teams. With Luka and Ball on the roster, you could easily fill out the PG bench with someone like Burke. And NO gets two useful, affordable, and hungry ballhandlers and a pick.
I know Ball still has a lot of room to grow, but I'm intrigued by the idea of a Luka/Ball backcourt. That's just a ton of size, playmaking, and rebounding from your starting guards. And what Ball lacks in shooting he can make up for with defense. I see him as a much more talented version of what Dallas hoped to get with Wright.

Forget Ball. No interest. He blows. Wouldn’t give up two players, each who are comparable, for him. You just have to put the draft position out of your mind. It’s irrelevant. And he’d be a terrible backcourt partner with Luka. That guy needs to be deadly.

A guard next to Luka who could 1) guard point guards exceptionally well, 2) hit the 3 at a high clip, and 3) quarterback with not much letdown when Luka was off the court would be a top 20 player in the NBA. If we're going to be that picky about it and insist that that guy be a ten out of ten in all three areas, we'll be waiting quite a while. Unless we can pry CP3 away from the Thunder, and who knows how much longer he'll be worth a damn.

I get the stretch big sentiment except guess who had a +12 Net Rating (best on the team) when paired with Zion? Yep, Favors.

There were reports about DAL being interested 1-2 weeks ago. If those numbers are accurate, he´d have to pay €5.2M out of his own pockets. How much are teams willing to pay for (best case) 29 year old JJB?
Prime JJ himself never earned more than $4.5M a year. That will require a lot of mental gymnastics to make that a realistic financial scenario.
Our core is
Doncic/Brunson
X/Curry
DFS/X
X/Kleber
Porzingis/X
There is no point paying the 3rd string PG more than the minimum, unless he´s a stud defender that can play along-side Doncic.
First job is to find takers for Powell and/or Wright. Let THJ, Jackson and Boban expire.

Let's assume Sacramento will be cleaning house after Vlade. How about:
Sac: THJ, Brunson, Wright (or JJ), #18
Dal: Hield, Bagley
Sacramento replaces expensive, overpaid and unhappy Hield with expiring THJ, gets a cheap back up PG that knows how to play and a pick. This creates options for them in 2021. Final piece is a salary filler. Dallas gets even better shooter than THJ and all the Bagley potential, if he can remain healthy.
Another Sacramento sense Vlade option. Assuming Bogdan is Vlade guy and they prefer Hield now, would they really still want to resign Bogi "no matter what"? #18 seems like fair reward for a SnT, but we need to send salary their way. Wright would be an option, but they already have an overpaid back up PG. They could immediately fire Vlade replacement if he takes Powell. I am not willing to include THJ or Curry in this deal.
Boy Sacramento has a lot of bad contracts
THJ and #18 for Joseph and Bagley

All I want from SAC is Hield. If SAC wants to throw in Bagley too I'm more than willing but I'm sure their fanbase would riot and burn down the stadium if the franchise decided to cut loose on the number 2 pick, and the guy that was chosen over Luka, so early. And it'll sure sting a lot more that they hypothetically decided to trade him to the very team that has Luka.
Anyways, back to the original point. SAC has Bogdon and Buddy. An obvious clog at 2. Both guards are 27 (!!), and they both cannot play together. Due to their cap situation it seems like 1 is going to go. Mavs should be all over this. Buddy is EXACTLY the dude to play next to Luka. In a down year he shot 40% from 3. He broke Steph's record to fastest to 800 made 3's, doing so in 296 games. He is the lights out shooter the Mavs need at 2. Acquiring him also makes Seth expendable.
I'd throw in Brunson, THJ, and our 18 pick for Buddy+13. Then I'd go to NOP and package 13+Wright+Jackson for Lonzo+J.J Reddick.
Mavs go in to FA with:
Luka/Lonzo/
Buddy/Curry/
DFS/Reddick
Maxi/---
Kristaps/Powell/Boban
Basically the guard rotation is set and can go into FA focused on finding a forward that can defend for the MLE. Meanwhile the Mavs quietly have assembled the best 3pt shooting team since prime Curry and Klay Warriors. Mavs can shop around Curry or Reddick to get rid of that redundancy in the hopes to find a defensive specialist.
And the Mavs also grab some assets in case a certain Greek Freak wants to join in 2021.

Is there another Sacramento?
Next season
Hield 24 (you want him so I assume he does not qualify)
Barnes 23
Joseph 12.5 (low guarantee for 2021/2022)
Bagley 9
Fox 8
Bjelica 7 (non guaranteed)
Parker 6.5
Holmes 5
So where are all these bad contracts that will pressure the Kings into trading Hield for somebody like Horford or THJ?
I´d re-sign Bogdanovic, draft a project #13 ( I wonder whether Vlade has intel on the bad smoking habits of Pokusevski´s grandma), buyout Bjelica and Joseph and throw the max at Gobert in 2021. He´d change everything for them.
Gobert won´t receive many max offers next summer. Contenders don´t like to throw the max at offensively challenged centers (if they have it available). Utah won´t do it, if the relationship with Mitchell and others is seriously strained. There is a chance for somebody like the Kings.
Small ball
Fox
Hield
Bogdanovic
Barnes
Gobert
Big ball
Fox
Bogdanovic
Barnes
Bagley
Gobert
Pretty good team.
Speaking of Gobert. Conspiracy theory. Mavs are not even trying on defense, cause they think Gobert will fix it all by himself next year.

First three on your list are very bad contracts. Hield is overpayed, his contract is like THJ, only he has all 4 years left. Barnes contract is a joke, he is a MLE guy. He didn't improve Sacramento at all. Joseph is way overpaid back up PG who can't really shoot. He would be ok for some 6 mil per, 12 mil is way too much. I already wrote how Sacramento is basically at the tax line with this team for years to come (if they resign Bogi and Fox), that can't even come close to make playoffs. And you think their contracts are not bad?

And then you would buyout one of the rare ok contracts on the team? Plus his contract is not guaranteed anyway. I guess Kings could do worse than Vlade

You are not even close to max spot with these moves. If you give 15 per to Bogi and max (30 per) to Fox, add #13 this year and (lets say) another #13 year after, this team is at 110 mil salary in the summer of 2021 on 7 players (Hield, Fox, Bagley, Barnes, Bogi and 2 rookies). Do you understand now, why these contracts are bad?
Sacramento basically has two choices:
1. Stick with the team and hope for internal development. Only minor adjustments. If everything goes well, they might be good enough for eight spot
2. Start another rebuild around Fox and reevaluate Bagley. They can still dump their bad contracts (Hield) for even worse ones (Horford for example) and collect some assets along the way. SnT Bogi, collect assets for Bjelica, Holmes. Tank hard in hope for #1 pick in 2021. However, that record for consecutive seasons without playoffs could easily go to 20 seasons long.
I think they will go for option number one, although number two would be better for them long term.
Short term decisions:
- keep both Bogi and Hield? Unless Bogi signs for MLE, this is some 40 mil locked in players at same position. If you want one to go, who?
- is Fox a max guy? He sure plays ok, but he is no Doncic. He is best player on the team by far though. I think he still needs to develop a lot to be a franchise cornerstone. However, not giving him max might make him leave.

First three on your list are very bad contracts. Hield is overpayed, his contract is like THJ, only he has all 4 years left. Barnes contract is a joke, he is a MLE guy. He didn't improve Sacramento at all. Joseph is way overpaid back up PG who can't really shoot. He would be ok for some 6 mil per, 12 mil is way too much. I already wrote how Sacramento is basically at the tax line with this team for years to come (if they resign Bogi and Fox), that can't even come close to make playoffs. And you think their contracts are not bad?

And then you would buyout one of the rare ok contracts on the team? Plus his contract is not guaranteed anyway. I guess Kings could do worse than Vlade

You are not even close to max spot with these moves. If you give 15 per to Bogi and max (30 per) to Fox, add #13 this year and (lets say) another #13 year after, this team is at 110 mil salary in the summer of 2021 on 7 players (Hield, Fox, Bagley, Barnes, Bogi and 2 rookies). Do you understand now, why these contracts are bad?
No I don´t. Here are their guaranteed contracts in 12 months (start of 2021/2022 season).
Hield 22.5 (decreasing contract)
Barnes 20.2 (decreasing contract)
Bagley 11
Fox 10 (caphold)
Why in the world would they feel pressured to do some dumb deals now? That´s just a normal cap situation.
I get it. We are all Mavs fans, guilty of exaggerating the cap situation of other teams, assuming that they can´t wait to trade us their best players to fix it.
Do you think the Mavs have a bad cap situation, cause they pay Wright and Powell $20M until 2022.
