2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[ItsGoTime]

what are you guys doing? we need to collect as much assets as possible and dumping #18 and #31 for capspace and temporary 'high' is not how you build a roster. need to get rid of DP and DW by attaching both picks will get us nowhere unless the merchandise being exchanged for is giannis not the cap space. draft the best possible talent or trade both picks for 2021 or draf and stash talent in 2020 if you do not see any homegrown talents worthy of the picks.

As a general rule, you’re right. If there is something you can gain from a trade for those picks, that can’t be the mentality though, especially when you’re getting back what I proposed while adding the picks.


Assets can be collected in more ways than just through the draft also. Contracts like Satoransky’s is an asset because he is reasonably paid (maybe even underpaid) for what he brings to a team. That’s an asset. A contract like OPJ’s that is gonna be expiring next year is an asset.

If Giannis is the goal, you have to get him to say yes first, then you can figure out the many different avenues to make it happen. Getting as far as possible in the playoffs is a better way of getting a player of Giannis caliber to say yes than having assets that don’t (or at least most likely don’t) see the court.

I like Young and Satoransky, but there is no way their contracts are value or desirable for another team in a trade. The picks are better under all circumstances.

I´d have included them in various Powell/Wright contract dumps, but their buyout guarantees are too high to be a valuable cap tool. When you have to buy out their final year for $5M/$6M, you might as well keep Wright for $8.5M. There is no real benefit. I´d be all over them, if their buyouts were like $2M each.

Who’s proposing buying them out? Satoransky’s on court value is at least worth $10M. Young’s is less than his on court value, but it isn’t so out there that attaching a second can’t overcome. 


Trading them to get the player who finally said yes to your offseason pitch, to teams that can use them for a season should be a pretty easy sell. I say that, and then Dallas will happen to get another egg on their face by being the first team to get a player to say yes and not find a way to make it happen. SMH.

That’s also if you don’t fall in love with their increased play when playing with the open space that Luka and KP create. I’m not all that into the Giannis sweepstakes myself. I think Luka and KP are enough star power to bring a well put together team to the promised land. Adding Giannis brings a high potential of KP being the odd man out on the offensive end and him possibly becoming disgruntled and/or irrelevant much like Bosh in Miami.
