2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Mavs2019]

Why would the Suns want another PG/SG and SF like Wright and Jackson? They already have young lottery pick back-ups, that need minutes.

If we assume they allow Saric to walk in RFA, they have about 18-25 left in capspace to sign two bigs, probably want another veteran leader. Therefore the trade options with the Phoenix are limited. Unless the Mavs are willing to part with Powell, which is also unlikely.

-----

The S&T candidate is Kris Dunn imho. The expiring contract of Felicio for the RFA contract of Justin Jackson and Boban, should be enough incentive for the Bulls.

-----

Since Saric was also concerned about minutes, I doubt he´ll willing to sign a contract in Dallas, if we drafted another PF/C, so this would probably mean a PG/SG/SF draft. Draft two prospects with defensive upside like Ramsey and Bey. Extend Lee with the vet minimum.

-----

So ultimately the Mavs 2020/2021 roster could look something like this....

Doncic (SF on defense) / Brunson / Ramsey
THJ / Curry / Lee
Dunn (PG on defense) / DFS / T. Bey
Powell / Saric / Felicio 
Porzingis / Kleber / WCS

Minutes distribution

Doncic 32 /Brunson 20
THJ 28/ Curry 24
Dunn 20 / DFS 24
Powell 20 / Saric 24
Porzingis 30 / Kleber 18

There would not be a deeper team in the whole league. We can provide Porzingis and Doncic sufficient rest periods during the regular season, especially if it will be condensed next year.

Plus we´d maintain full FA/trade flexbility for 2021.
