2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Jym]

I would like to see the Mavs use one of Lee and the TPE at least to recoup some second round picks. It's always nice to have those to sweeten deals and who knows, maybe one of them turns out to be valuable like the GSW pick

For sure
Seems like there would be deals available where we take on money for next year and get an asset for our trouble

This is why, in my view, not making ***any*** deals with the TPE and/or (preferably and!) Lee ought to be cause for pitchforks, if the MBT hadn't already lowered our expectations with last offseason. Have to use those tools to add assets.

Alec Burks can score but don't we need a forward more than a guard? Isn't he more like a big SG?

Hes pretty much a SF positonally. What options do we have tho?

I do not want Iggy at all. That dude gonna leave 100% after the season.

RHJ: Not sure we have the assets necessary. Would be a great pickup tho.

MKG: could be a good defender but not sureif he improves us more than Burks.

Batum: not sure if he still remembers how to ball. If we can revive his career he could be a great addition.

Morris: Doubt we can outbid anyone for him

Derrick jones jr: we tried to get him in the botched Heat trade, so maybe we still have interest. But with Winslow injuries idk if they want to move him

theres def options i'm not thinking off, but Burks might be the best wing option that is gettable. If we are going off of the recent Mavs philosphy, its safe to assume that anyone we bring in that is not a center, can shoot threes atleast at an acceptable rate

Is Burks good defensively? I guess I don't know that the Mavs would want to give up that GSW pick for a guy that could leave this summer. Not sure they could get him for TPE + a low 2nd. That would be ideal. Pretty sure you could get MKG for next to nothing.

I'm assuming anyone we bring in thats not a center can shoot threes. MKG can't shoot period. Just based on the rest of our roster I think thats a safe assumption. It does make sense tho, ideally you surround Luka with as many shooters as possible to maximize his playmaking ability

From what i've seen of Burks, hes solid on D. Not amazing, but not bad either. Hes def better at D than Jackson, so he would be an upgrade on offense and d. He'd instantly become our 3rd/4th best offensive player tho

The Mavs "kicked tires" on MKG. He's bad at offense, but would be an overall upgrade on Justin with his defense.

I'm still a bit shook at how badly we handled the Miami negotiations. Sounds like we weren't even trying to get a first rounder from them. 
We probably could have pried 2 out of them if we tried hard enough
