2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

Seems like ATL doesn't even want to throw 1st rounder for Drummond, only expirings. Would you be OK with one of these? (you can add 2nd rounders if you think it's DAL one-sided)

Trade A: DAL = Drummond, Wood. DET = Lee, Powell (Add Brunson if they want a young guy for Wood or just switch Wood for Morris and we get a good bench guy, but I really like Wood).

Trade B: DAL = Drummond, Rose. DET = Lee, Wright, Jackson (Had to add him to get us under the tax and I think they would want something for Rose).


Some scenarios with him in 2020:

Drummond doesn't fit in and takes his PO: We would be frustrated, but he becomes a good expiring for trades with teams needing a big.
Drummond doesn't fit in and doesn't take his PO: We would have at least 15M (I believe) to throw at players in FA (Thompson, Favors, Saric, Harrell).
Drummond does fit in and takes his PO: We have one and a half years with 3 great players and good pieces around. In 2021 we decide if it's worth to keep him or go get other good FA.
Drummond does fit in and doesn't takes his PO: Throwing money at a center is never a good idea (unless he is great). We could go over the cap to sign him and have 15M to throw at guys in FA.

What are your opinions on the trades and the scenarios? (Please correct me if I'm wrong with the cap stuff)
