2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Playmaker]

I find it interesting that people on this board would object to trading for Lavine but would rather trade for Grandpa Paul or Cedi Osman. If I brought up trading for Bradley Beal (who the Mavs don't have the assest to trade for) no one would object. While Lavine isn't as good as Beal, there isn't that much that separates them as players. One player just happens to be much cheaper to acquire in a trade, based off perception than the other.

Moreover I look at Lavine as someone who could play the Jason Terry role if he for some reason doesn't fit in with Luka and KP in the starting lineup. Also the Mavs at this stage in their growth should not be worried about fit so much as just acquiring the most talent possible and if doesn't work out with that talent can easily be flipped for a better fitting piece or assest. The Mavs at one point traded for Antwan Jamison, Antwan Walker on team with Nash, Finely, Nowitzki. Neither of those players ended up on the team for long. This is the same approach I wanted the Mavs to make in acquiring Dlo last offseason (which people objected too as well). The warriors did this exact same thing and acquired a first round pick. It sure would be nice to have the Twolves first round pick as an asset to build out this roster.
