2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

Some intresting trades and signings.

Great piece, really a lot of thought has been given in.

Dallas:
- traded Brunson and Jackson for Kennard. I would do it
- downgraded #31 pick for 2 Philly picks (#36 and #37). Also something I would consider doing
 

Thanks for the summary.  Long article, so I was glad you saved me some time.  You missed the Jae Crowder 3 years at the MLE part and the C. Lee one year minimum part for Dallas.

I think trading Jackson and some guard makes sense.  Doing it for an expiring (but restricted) player also makes great sense as it keeps options open for 2021.  It is a one year try out with rights.  I think Kennard would look pretty good with the space he'd see here (see McDermott, Doug).  Between him, THJ,  Curry and Wright, that's a lot of mix and match guards to put with Luka.  Some with distribution skills and all but one of whom can shoot from outside.  Kennard's hold in 21 is about the same as the Brunson/Jackson combo.

I am OK with the theory of dropping from 31 to 36 & 37.  I wasn't overly enthralled with who they picked for us, but the theory seemed good.

If we are using the full MLE for 3 years, I hope the player we get is better than Crowder.  I get that he adds a tough veteran to the mix at backup SF/PF.  Seems like an 8th man.  There are other people they think are MLE level that I'd probably rather have.
