2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

I understand that we might have a bigger need for a real SF but I'd try hard to get Saric for the MLE.

I totally agree. I also like Hernangomez as I think he is a better defender and shooter and never really had a chance to play for a serious team. He might be cheaper.

Going back to Saric, it basically comes down to Phoenix. If they move on from him in chase of a bigger star at PF position, his market could be at the MLE level as there are only a couple of teams with cap space this summer and they might be in chase for other targets. Assuming of course, that he chooses Dallas, because there will be no doubt many teams offering full MLE to him.

The other factor are the Mavs - is 2021 FA total priority or not. If yes, no long term contract will be given for MLE. This means younger guys like Saric and Hernangomez will most likely choose other options.
