2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[HanspardsShowerVoice]

I get the distinct impression that the reason we did not pursue Morris is that the Knicks refused to involve the Mavericks in any deal. According to Dolan's tweet they refused the Danny Green angle on Morris because the Lakers intended to ship Green to Dallas in the deal. They own our pick in '21 and they were taking no chances it would improve...
That and they are probably salty that KP and Hardaway are outperforming any other pieces involved in the trade. Most teams lose trades in which they give up the best player... Ultimately ALL teams lose the trade when they give up the best and second best players in the trade.

Not to mention that DSJ was damaged goods, mentally if not physically, and  DAJ might have been pivotal and talking KD/Kyrie into the Nets and out of the Knicks.  Many organizations wouldn't be petty enough to let a bad trade linger into future transactions like that, but Dolan would not be.
