2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

That makes sense Mavsfan, I don't think he'd be on Towns but he can guard just about any bigger player imo this side of Embiid. He has locked down 250 lb LeBron and 7 foot Durant in the past. Anyways I would like him acquired as he would turn this team from good defensively to great.

I think the avenue to making us a better defensive team is not by adding a 20 min a night wing that doesn't play offense much.  It ultimately lies with the Mavs finding a trade that upgrades Powell or THJ in the starting lineup with 2-way players who don't mess with our offensive flow (or even improve it!) and can be plus defenders.  It is not an easy task. The other avenue is for Porzingis to break out of his funk and become so dominant on offense, that we can throw another defensive only player out there with him and Luka instead of THJ.

In other words, I think the path to the Mavs acquiring those players lies in MC taking back a TON of short term money (1-2 year contracts) to get players that meet this criteria - and still keeping the Giannis dream alive!
