What are you trying to accomplish with this trade? It is a pretty redundant trade that costs a LOT of future salary, doesn't address a majority of the issues that confront the Mavs, ends all hope of '21 cap flexibility, and sends away pretty much all available trade assets. In all actuality, this trade is what I fear most - more redundant one-way players.
Dunn is a great defender. I like him as a backup PG - but we already have Wright holding that down and Brunson is arguably a better 2way player on top of that.
Lavine - I don't know why he would be a target at all. His advantage over Hardaway is shot creation at the the cost of defense. pass.
As for Thad, I already posted about my objections to him.. just expensive redundancy that doesn't really move the needle at the right position.
Seems like a very complex trade that costs a lot but doesn't move the needle in the areas we need help in - adding 2way wing and a versatile defending upgrade to replace Powell at C that can rim run and/or shoot. It almost seems like the NY trade where the other team is trying to clear cap space, except it is missing the KP coming back!
I am glad you asked that question
