My idea of realistic off season moves for the Mavericks is this:
1. Trade Jalen Brunson, JJax, plus the2020 Warriors' 2nd round pick (or Mavericks' 2020 1st around pick) for Mikal Bridges;
2. Sign Jae Crowder for MLE;
3. Try to keep WCS; and
4. Sign Vet minimum players to fill out roster spots;
JB is not far behind Bridges talentwise. Bridges is a versatile defender that can shoot the three, exactly what the Mavs need, and lines up with young core agewise.
Trading JB will solve logjam at back up guard. Free up minutes for Delon Wright. DW is versatile enough to play positions 1 to 3, a better defender than JB, and can improve offensively and defensively next year.
JJB can be resigned to be third string guard and act as mentor.
JB can be third guard for Suns who can play on ball or off ball with either Booker or Rubio. I think Givinh more. minutes to JB can unlock his potential. I believe he is underrated as a player.
Oubre is their stsrting SF, they can fill back minutes with JJaX or other young wings.
I think they will have to resign Saric. They are pretty thin at the 4. JJax can also play the back up 4 for them. It os still possible for JJax to become a setviceable rotational player.
2nd round pick or 1st round pick sweetens the deal. They can probably find a good young player for them.
Jae Crowder is a former Maverick who is a good versatile defender who can hustle, rebound, shoot the three. He can play either forward spots.
A forward rotation of KP, Maxi, Dodo, Bridges, Crowder, can be very good defensively. KP and Maxi will have to play the 5 fo stretches. This will give Mavs good perimeter defense and rim protection for all 48 minutes of the game.
Almost all players can shoot the three which is good for Mavs offense. This will free the lane for Luka. And Luka driving will open up three-point shooters.
I think this is viable because Jae Crowder is a free agent and will not tooexpensive. It is just a matter of offering him enough money within the MLE.
I think the Mavs can try to pry Bridges from them. I think he has underperformed but still good defensively and has potential. But Suns have needs and they already Oubre at the 3. JB is a talented, smart player, a winner, and has surpassed immediate expectations. That can be attractive for any team. Plus Mavs can offer 2nd round pick or even the first round. I think the Mavs should gun to build a winning team right nowand not develop players. Bridges can contribute immediately but is still an asset.
