2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

Cedi Osman.

He would be a good target. Cleveland is projected to draft Avdija, a SF, and they already have younger SF prospects in Porter and Windler. The other reasonable targets with Wright contract (and probably a sweetener) could be Satoransky, Young, Snell. In any case, I would look really hard to move Wright for a better fitting piece, even if it is a 7th type player. Powell will not be traded, unless he is a missing salary in a big trade. 

Looks like Millsap ruined his value a bit in the bubble. Would you have him as MLE PF? I think his experience and production would be great for us for a season or two. Mavs will certainly make MPJ and Grant a priority at PF. Unless of course, Grant leaves.

My favorite options remain:
1. Trade Wright + pick(s) (18 and 31 if needed) for Richardson (probably 3-team trade with someone like Detroit Kennard) and sign a strong PF for MLE (Grant, Milsap, Ibaka, Morris)

2. Trade Wright+pick (future second or two) for Young, sign Dunn or DJJ for MLE (or oldest Holiday as a back up)

In both cases we improve defensively a lot while all listed guys should thrive in offense with Luka. If we remain in draft, some teams are very successful finding defense specialists even with low picks (or undrafted) and teach them to become passable on offense. The value of someone like Dort or Thybulle on this team would be huge.
