2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[fifteenth]

In case of number 1 we are basically trading Lee+THJ plus perhaps a minor asset. We keep all our bench.

In case of number 2 it is basically Lee. 

I don't agree about our salaries. Despite playing nicely together, none has shown he is more of a role player. And they are paid accordingly. No contender will trade starter level guy for one or two of our role players (unless something is wrong with that starter level guy or we add additional assets). What our role players could perhaps net would be a promising youngster from a contender looking for additional proven veterans.

We've taken bad salaries back in the past in lieu of other assets. If our team plays well then we will have assets. I hope we're done taking back bad salaries. 

You're critique of my thoughts was of a scenario that I did not propose. But, I might rather have a promising youngster over a proven vet, as long as the promising youngster is an obvious talent and upside upgrade over what we're sending away.
