2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[SportPsychMav]

Totally agree with THJ+Lee alone. I would expect something more from their side actually. A pick or young player. It saves them a ton of salary.


Regarding killing our flexibility at FA until 2022. Look at it this way - Houston managed to move his contract. If hypothetical deal with Dallas happened, OKC also managed to move him. So why would we think, that Dallas would be unable to move him, if Giannis is willing to sign with us?

I don't agree Paul is necessary a disruptor of team chemistry. I totally understand he got pissed off in Clippers playing with that clown DAJ. Same in Houston - I can totally understand Paul object to Harden style of play because it will not lead to titles. I see him as fierce competitor with high basketball IQ. I think Luka and him could have a great bond, with a bit of mutual self respect. Luka can learn a lot from CP3 and should not act like a diva if Paul has something to say. I don't think Luka is like that.

Chris Paul literally is one of the biggest A-Ho......s of the league. The guy is a flat out team disruptor OFF THE COURT. Not necessarily on the court.
Bringing in a personality like Chris Paul will only cause problems.
Better bring in gritty role players or friends of Luka lika Hernangomez.
Dragic would have been an excellent vet for us.

When people throw teams together they forget players are humans with personalities that have to mesh well.

When people want players to take certain actions they forget their humanity and that they might be exhausted. 
Or they don't take into account if the opponent like especially Lakers and Portland play super physical.

Cleveland game was never in danger when you looked at how they played and the game went.

Stats don't tell the whole story. Gamescore can be equal and the game can still be unequal. Dallas was 2 levels above Cleveland at minimum and their young team wasn't scrappy as Lakers and Blazers.

There is so much more going on than stats and results. But maybe my psychological perspective isn't that normal.
