2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[StepBackJay]

So saying "Curry, Wright, DFS and Kleber" are all keepers I think is kind of true but also an indication that these are actually the players of value in the trade market. Would we trade them for other similar role guys? No. But if you could cash in some of these players for a star or a legit 3rd core player alongside KP and Luka you would have to do it. You can't fall in love to much with your own players. I definitely would not trade them for an aging player like a Love or CP3-type. I am just saying none of these guys are untouchable for the right move. Only KP and Luka are untouchable. After that anyone is technically available for the right move.

I think the Mavs have the ammo to get one and perhaps two of their starters from their current assets. The other can either be a current Mav (Curry? Wright?) or, presuming we're eligible for it, the full MLE. I think the full MLE should be able to get us a player who is an upgrade on either THJ, Powell, or DFS. Thing is, if we made trades for both of the other two starters, we're probably into the luxury tax. This is probably not something that can be worked out in a single year.

Re: MLE I don't think Mavs will do a multi-year MLE next season unless it's a 1+1 TO type of situation bc Mavs won't want 10 million eating into their 2021 space. I could see Mavs getting into the trade market as well. I love Favors, he would be a good get in my opinion but I am not sure I see the Mavs wanting to give him a 3 or 4 year deal in light of 2021.
