2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[omahen]

So who should we have signed?

List below, most likely I forgot some other options. Neither of us have any idea who we could have signed, who was prepared to talk with us etc. But everything was pointing out that Mavs were caught completely by surprise. Everyone was signing players while Mavs dealt with that Miami trade that failed completely. If Kemba and Green were targets, that alone makes the summer a failure, as they failed at both. This would effectively mean that we executed plan C. 

List of 3-D guys within 20 per reach. As a non expert I would assume we could sign any of them if we offered a couple mil more. Everyone listed would be an upgrade from THJ or JJ and would still enable us to sign Wright, Curry and Bobi.

1. Notable exception: Brogdon (a bit over 20 per, but some moves like getting rid of Lee contract would probably enable him and all the rest that we signed)
2. Bogdanovic
3. Lamb
4. Young
5. Green
6. Ross
7. Beverly
8. Lamb

Pearl of the Miami trade fiasco was this statement: Dallas didn't want to trade for Dragic because they realized it would ruin their cap plans. Hm, which plans exactly would that be? Waiting for Green till the end to finally choose Lakers over us?

Please stop selling the story, how signing Wright, Bobi and Curry was a well thought masterplan. It was not. It was plan X after failing in plans A (Kemba), B (Miami trade), C (Green), D? (Bev) and who knows how many more.
