2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

I don't think this is realistic. It is difficult to get player like O'Neale and Utah is definitely making a step back with this trade, even without mentioning the future pick on their side. I would love O'Neale though

Utah is facing a tough situation. Gobert and Mitchell aren´t happy with each other. Overall the team is good but not a real contender. They don´t have any draft pick this year. I think a small rebuild around either Mitchell or Gobert is very likely. In this case they would probably want a pick this year.

While I like your ideas, I am affraid there would not be enough minutes to pass around and some guys will be unhappy. For example you have Jackson as number 3 behind DFS and Kleber at PF. No way he sees minutes this way.

The idea was more or less based on the hope that one of the mentioned guys (Roberson, Jackson) develops a jumpshot and replaces DFS in the starting five. But I get your point. Neither is a real starter but they probably deserve at least 20 minutes. We already had a similar situation this year with Delon Wright complaining about his role. On the other hand they are all versatile enough to play any position from 2-4 (at least on defense).
More depth helps but a 3rd star or even a proven starter would obviously be even better. I just don´t like the available options this summer.
