2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[ThisIStheYear]

Did anyone actually listen to Rick's postgame presser?

Because if you did, there is no more candid way for the coach to say what I've been saying for a while now about the type of players needed to fit into this teams system.

There's no way you can listen to that and think the Mavs would have remotely any interest in bringing in a bunch of the bigs we've identified as trade targets. If they can't shoot the 3 or aren't high level roll threats (basically be effective spending the majority of their time on offense standing on the 3 point line), there's no point talking about them (unless they can do what Boban does better, and are willing to play a similar bit part role).

This seems true to me.  The Mavs are a bit thin depth wise and need to hope for good health in their big man rotation, but doesn’t everybody.  Otherwise, the big man rotation is full, and it’s fine.

As the rotation has shaken out, it’s becoming clear to me that the biggest need is a player who can be effective in limited minutes (~15) as a wing defender while holding his own on the offensive side (Jackson has failed in this role). Iggy had some impressive stats last year in a role like this.  He’s available.  He can be acquired without mortgaging the future. He’s the man for the job. Time to pull the trigger.
