2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

I'd do that in a heartbeat. An article I read during the season the writer said Ind wanted players for Turner though, weren't all that interested in picks. Having said that, I'd still think it'd take our 1st along with Curry and Kleber and maybe our second as well. I'd still do that trade though. Only reason Ind does it is if there aren't many other offers because I think they're looking for a starting piece to add to their puzzle for him.

Turner's age is perfect for our young current duo (would IMO be a trio if we got Turner). The defense KP and MT would bring under the basket would be stifling. Then on offense they would be interchangeable and wouldn't step on eachother's toes with MT playing low post more then KP, but can step out if need be too. MT has enough bulk to bang with the big guys, but also isn't so big that he can't chase players around the perimeter. Finally, he's locked in at $18M for 3 more years. That is value! 

All we'd have to add is a waterbug defender and another wing 3&D guy (unless we keep THJ in which case we could take our pick of a wing 3&D or waterbug defender) and this team is competing for championships. Our bench is hit pretty hard with the trade, but those type of guys Donnie has proven to be able to find every year and they wouldn't be the type of guys that hit the cap hard like the big pieces.

Your argumentation is solid. I am sure Indy would prefer to upgrade the top side of the roster, as they already have a lot of useful players, who are not stars. However, additional points can be made. Indy basically has McDermott in Curry role. However McDermott is expiring and not cost controlled. Also it is not clear if they will be able to retain Holiday and Curry would more than adequately replace him. Kleber can be seen as cheap man Turner.
