2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[DanSchwartzgan]

So, how about Kleber+Wright+Jackson+2020 1st+2025 1st?

What I found fascinating about this isn’t so much the target (Jrue) or your package.  That was all logical.  It is more about the timing that is best for team building.

As you note, you wipe out your bench to bring in that third star...or near star.  You then spend the MLE to refill part of the bench.  Now you are out of the 2021 FA sweepstakes...except using the MLE again.

Or, do you sit relatively tight this summer and save your powder for 2021?  You may or may not get someone quite of Jrue’s quality, but whatever you get, it doesn’t cost you your entire bench.

Or, do you add another couple of 5th man types on good contracts and set yourself up for a big trade in 21?
