2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Scott41theMavs]

We need a player that is a better scorer than Porzingis for the overall health and balance of this squad.

Very simply put: Luka does everything on offense and Porzingsi does everything on defense.

The other four are just offensive or defensive roleplayers. That´s not a winning formular.

I think we have enough on the roster to get defensive stops, when it matters. I don´t think we have enough to score, when the other team ups their defensive intensity and focus.

Now with Luka being injured short-term trades make no sense.

He's only out 2 weeks. Short term moves would be made to advance Mavs further in the playoffs and also make sure they get to the playoffs in the first place. Not sure Mavs would trade GSW for a short term player but they might give up a lower 2nd.

I definitely don't want "short-term trades," like Iggy rentals, but the Mavs need to use the tools they have for acquisition - the TPE and Lee - with a few sweeteners to upgrade their talent quotient. They put themselves in a position to not be able to afford not acquiring talent for those two tools by botching the offseason so badly. Gotta see some moves.
