2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[StepBackJay]

Chris Paul would be  Rondo 2.0 in pretty much every way.  The parallels make me think it has a chance of happening.  A team overachieving slightly with the best offensive rating in the league, blows it up for an over-the-hill PG who may or may not clash with RC... Feels like such a Cuban move

The one worry is that MBT used to be obsessed with CP3 but I think they are wiser now. It's not even close to Rondo. They took a shot at Rondo bc the price wasn't much (expiring Crowder, etc) and Rondo was himself expiring. The upside was that Rondo would be amazing and Mavs could lock him up.

CP3's deal is absolutely terrible. He still has 2 years after this year. No team that doesn't have it's own terrible contracts (and there aren't that many still left at the moment) is going to offer anything.

Also Mavs have good guards, so he would not be a huge upgrade. There are other teams out there that need better guard play, particularly a general like CP3. If cost wasn't an issue I could see a team like Detroit wanting to pair CP3 with Griffin again. But CP3 is too expensive, too much of a headache. Rox were lucky to be able to dump him. I think CP3 is a good player still and could be useful for OKC if they don't want to do a full tear-down.

Trade ideas (1 or more):

• Jae Crowder (for TE, small move)
  
• Steven Adams for Powell + Lee
  
• Lee for Iguodala
  
• Something for Al Fariq Aminu - not sure the asking price. They really need a PG more than anything and I wouldn't want to give up Brunson. Maybe they will just want to shed salary at the TDL if the team isn't getting it done.

I'd love some kind of Capela move like Powell + Jackson type move would be a fair swap but both teams would have to feel like they got better.
