DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[Mavs2019]

Please show me, when Schwartz did us any favours? Just in last couple of years, Dallas gave him the silly Jordan overpaid contract, Barnes huge contract and Powell silly extension.

I'll give you Barnes, and won't argue Powell (again). 

In the case of Jordan, I think he opted out in LA to sign basically the same one year deal here in Dallas, right? There's no way he and the agent didn't see "trade bait" from a mile away, and isn't that how the Mavs landed KP? Kind of WAS a favor, really.

The only way you can construct that as a favour to the Mavs, is playing three dimension chess and claim the Mavs wanted to exploit VAJs friendship with KD/KI as trade value, instead of signing NBA players with more playing talent for a lot less money.

I know this is an alleged common practice, but I don´t see how any big agent has done us any favours ever, given our proven track record of FA failure and overpaying clients like Parsons, Matthews, VAJ, Barnes. We build our most successful rosters through trading and drafting.
