2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

The problem IMO is that Minny would then completely deplete us as a cost.

That trade would look more like KP, DFS, Brunson, Curry & GS #2 to Minny; send Lee and a future 1st to Memphis; send Iggy to Minnesota.  Kat, and RoCo attached to the worst contracts Minnesota wants to shed to Dallas

Wait, what? The trade was KP/THJ for KAT/RoCo. I don't understand why you're claiming we would be depleted then change the trade? If you're gonna claim KP/THJ is not enough for KAT/RoCo, that reasoning has to be laid out, then type out what you believe would be the trade. I also don't get the reason to include Iggy in the trade if DFS is returning, and who is the 1st coming from Dal or Min? The Mem part makes 0 sense whatsoever in this trade. Your trade kindof looks to me like, "let's figure out a trade that makes it look less desirable to trade KP".

Also, just going with your trade, how are we completely depleted sending out that group of players? I have the team looking like this after your trade:

Luka/JJB
THJ/Wright
RoCo/JJ
Powell/Maxi
KAT/Dieng (worst contract guy)

Without contesting your "required" trade, this isn't depleted to me at all.


To me, I would prefer a Turner return for KP for defensive purposes. But the value is not there for a straight up swap. We would need a lot more back for KP. I had worked up a trade that does include that swap earlier and Scott thought we needed up to 3 firsts included where we send out KP and JJ and return Turner and Warren or Lamb. I then went back to the drawing board and thought up this trade (never posted it):

Min => KAT and RoCo (maybe Napier as well)
Min <= KP, JB and 2021 1st or Aaron Holiday (I think KP is worth more than KAT, but not RoCo more albeit I can be persuaded to have Dal getting the 1st due to the biggest reason this trade probably happens...KAT is not happy with the team, in that case KAT has even less value than KP)

Ind => Turner, Warren and 2021 first or Aaron Holiday
Ind <= KAT (if Aaron Holiday is put in the trade then Napier is also incoming to even out the # of players more)

Dal => KP and JB
Dal <= Turner, RoCo and Warren

Dal lineup:

Luka/Wright
THJ/Curry
RoCo/DFS
Warren/Maxi (or vice versa but I do like the former teammates playing with eachother in both cases)
Turner/Powell
