2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[ItsGoTime]

Then, on draft night,
1) Our 2020 first.
2) THJ as cap ballast for a big trade.

At that point we would also have 2025 and 2027 (unless there is a later date the 2027 becomes available) firsts if we hadn’t used the 2025 this year,

I know you're being facetious because you bash your head against the wall that the Mavs don't value the draft. But the Mavs 1) may not have much of any cap room next offseason, and 2) are very likely to be in desperate need of that third guy next to Luka and KP. THJ greases the trade, and the first pays for it.

If you have a better way for the Mavs to have an at least minimally decent offseason, I'm all ears.

I'm not being facetious. My thoughts on how the Mavs value the draft is a lot more nuanced than that. It has started to change as well since Finley has been in the office because that is when the draft seemed to be taken more seriously. At this point I need more time to make any definitive statement about what I see and think about that. 


I was trying to be more accurate as to the draft day assets we have, because the amount of holes we need to fill, we just might need those extra 2 firsts. Also, the type of talent we need at this point, I believe, is easier to target and acquire in trade as opposed to in the mid to late first round.
