2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

Lamar was also God-awful on the court when he played so Mavs weren't that keen on bringing him back. Our best comp is something that happened 7 or 8 years ago? At this point I hope the Mavs do try to get him so we kind find out definitively whether he's that big a crybaby that he would sit out even for a top tier playoff team.

Just one example out of many where a player did refuse to play, and ended up forcing his way out and getting paid anyway. It's a risk with a dissatisfied player. The Grizz contemplated Iggy playing for them when they acquired him, but no dice. 

I don't have any interest in getting Iggy just to find out whether he would play with us. I can see how his experience could be valuable in terms of helping the young guys learn for the rest of the season and the playoff run, however. On the assumptions that he would be a very short-term guy and that he would not be the missing piece that would lead the Mavs to a title, I wouldn't give up anything substantial for him, though, and will be surprised if any other team does, other than maybe the LA teams, where he actually wants to play. 

He is an intriguing piece, with a number of pros and cons.
