2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Jym]

THJ's future as a Maverick is a fascinating question for me. Going into the season, I thought there was no way he would consider opting out, but his play this year has at least made it a question.

I still don't think he will because I'm not sure if there is enough cap space out there to make it worth it to him. I really wonder what the value of his next contract will be. I would love to keep him here cheaper, something like 12-14 million/year, but I don't know if that is realistic.

Will be interesting to see what happens. I feel like we're so far down the 2021 capspace route that it doesn't make sense to add long term salary this summer. Pretty sure that's the MBT's mindset too or they would have found an upgrade trade this past year. 
If anything I could see a scenario where THJ opts out, finds the market is more deflated than expected and then signs a one year deal about the size of the contract he opted from. That would protect him a bit since he could veto a trade
