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

[SleepingHero]

I just did this trade and it went through. The Mavericks also create Trade Exception to add Galinari

Boston Receives
Steven Adams
Maxi Kleber
Kelly Oubre
Pick 31

So the Mavs trade Maxi+THJ+Wright+Jackson18+31 for Gordon Hayward+14+26? 

So basically 2 key rotation pieces, 2 non-impact pieces to move up in the draft+Hayward. It's not terrible. But I think Hayward alone isn't worth THJ+Maxi. And in this trade the Mavs essentially trade away all of their tradeable contracts. Only DFS+Curry+Brunson+Powell remain. 

Maybe a revised one could be:

Boston Receives
Steven Adams
Maxi Kleber
Pick 31

Dallas Receives
Gordon Hayward
Ricky Rubio
Danny Green
Pick 26


OKC Receives
Tim Hardaway Jr. (Buyout)
Justin Jackson
Delon Wright
Dwight Powell
Pick 18

Pick 14

OKC gets 2 picks plus gets off of Rubio+Adams money and breaks it into 3 smaller contracts. Saves OKC about 17 mil this season and gives them value contracts to match for trades, because most of the team is now on rookie deals. Plus OKC can add 2 more first rounders to their treasure trove. 

Boston gets the big man they want, plus a back up big. They stay in the draft and only move down 5 spots. Adams is expiring so they aren't tied up. Kleber is on a value contract and makes Thies expendable. 

Mavs get their ball handler, wing, and shooter plus stay in the draft with a first round pick. If Hayward opts in without an extension, Mavs could be looking at close to 32 mil in cap space with the Giannis summer looming. If Hayward extends lets say at 20 mil a year, the Mavs would have about 12 mil in space but a Rubio trade could put them right back at 30 mil.
