2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[SleepingHero]

Let's assume Sacramento will be cleaning house after Vlade. How about:

Sac: THJ, Brunson, Wright (or JJ), #18

Dal: Hield, Bagley

Sacramento replaces expensive, overpaid and unhappy Hield with expiring THJ, gets a cheap back up PG that knows how to play and a pick. This creates options for them in 2021. Final piece is a salary filler. Dallas gets even better shooter than THJ and all the Bagley potential, if he can remain healthy.

Another Sacramento sense Vlade option. Assuming Bogdan is Vlade guy and they prefer Hield now, would they really still want to resign Bogi "no matter what"? #18 seems like fair reward for a SnT, but we need to send salary their way. Wright would be an option, but they already have an overpaid back up PG. They could immediately fire Vlade replacement if he takes Powell. I am not willing to include THJ or Curry in this deal.

Boy Sacramento has a lot of bad contracts  

THJ and #18 for Joseph and Bagley

All I want from SAC is Hield. If SAC wants to throw in Bagley too I'm more than willing but I'm sure their fanbase would riot and burn down the stadium if the franchise decided to cut loose on the number 2 pick, and the guy that was chosen over Luka, so early. And it'll sure sting a lot more that they hypothetically decided to trade him to the very team that has Luka. 

Anyways, back to the original point. SAC has Bogdon and Buddy. An obvious clog at 2. Both guards are 27 (!!), and they both cannot play together. Due to their cap situation it seems like 1 is going to go. Mavs should be all over this. Buddy is EXACTLY the dude to play next to Luka. In a down year he shot 40% from 3. He broke Steph's record to fastest to 800 made 3's, doing so in 296 games. He is the lights out shooter the Mavs need at 2. Acquiring him also makes Seth expendable.

I'd throw in Brunson, THJ, and our 18 pick for Buddy+13. Then I'd go to NOP and package 13+Wright+Jackson for Lonzo+J.J Reddick.

Mavs go in to FA with:
Luka/Lonzo/
Buddy/Curry/
DFS/Reddick
Maxi/---
Kristaps/Powell/Boban

Basically the guard rotation is set and can go into FA focused on finding a forward that can defend for the MLE. Meanwhile the Mavs quietly have assembled the best 3pt shooting team since prime Curry and Klay Warriors. Mavs can shop around Curry or Reddick to get rid of that redundancy in the hopes to find a defensive specialist. 

And the Mavs also grab some assets in case a certain Greek Freak wants to join in 2021.
