2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Kammrath]

Any trade suggestions that are realistic routes? Like maybe we trade them both for an expiring guy so that this coming summer we can just sign a guy instead of trading for one? I mean I doubt neither are going to get a star... but maybe there is a Griffin or Drummond style situation that the team wants to move on from them...

Any thoughts?

The route the Mavs have really locked themselves into is trade, as has been stated. But they have flexibility with that because they have the $11.8M trade exception still....

SO, what they can do is use the $11.8M trade exception for ONE player that fits within while doing a separate trade that can be salary matched with Lee/THJ. 

So example: 

Robert Covington makes $11.3M so he fits nicely in the TE (trade exception). Then you trade Lee ($12.8M)+sweetener? for Dieng ($16.2M, $17.3M) at the trade deadline. Lee is expiring at that point and Dieng has another year. So overall the Mavs get Dieng+RoCo for Lee+sweetener?.

Another option is to trade for Wiggins, which honestly I am not against if you get rid of THJ.
