2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[DanSchwartzgan]

I don't want to hear about any draft or trade targets who aren't good perimeter defenders. It's the obvious glaring need and the Mavs did nothing to address it last offseason.

Players can learn to shoot. But they can't learn the length, strength, and inherent agility necessary to be a great perimeter defender in the NBA. The Mavs need to be looking for that above all else.

This. Maxi is doing his best but you need a real perimeter defender that can make Kawhi work for his points. Maxi is a good defender but Kawhi is probably the toughest cover in NBA. We need a stud defender. This series is a great way to benchmark your team against arguably the best team in the NBA. We are learning a lot and the main thing is you need Maxi on the bench and replace him with a stud defender that can bother the other team's best player.

Yes.  Unfortunately, the leagues best players are in the Leonard mold.  Lebron, AD and Giannis are all too quick for Maxi and too big for DFS.  One of our needs is someone in between Maxi and DFS who also forces defenses to account for their outside shot.
