2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[SleepingHero]

Sleeping Hero mentioned the idea of trading for Gallinari and Adams. Works for THJ, Lee, Brunson, Jackson, and Bro. Unfortunately, you'd have to tip the Thunder about 10 seconds and our 2024 first to seal that deal.

That trade also works just for THJ+Lee+Powell straight up for Gallo and Adams.

OKC might be ready to pull the plug and try to tank it. They're winning too many games. Powell gives them a young-ish center on a relatively cheap contract that has shown to be a great tank commander, and Mavs get to round out their playoff team with 2 guys that arguably fit perfectly.

We can also try to get really fancy with this and do a 3 way trade with the Pistons http://tradenba.com/trades/HJS2hbLor

Pistons trade- Drummond, Reggie Jackson, Tony Snell, Thon Maker

Pistons receive- CP3 and Adams

Mavs trade-THJ, Powell, Lee, (And you can include Brunson but the trade can go through with just these 3)

Mavs receive- Gallo, Drummond and Snell

OKC trade- CP3, Adams, Gallo

OKC receives- THJ, Powell, Lee, Jackson, Maker (and Brunson if you wanna add him).

That trade works. Pistons can replace Drummond, who's in a contract year and someone they probably don't want to pay the max, with Adams, a big brute center that Griffin traditionally has liked to play with. They also get to try the Blake/CP3 duo over again, except this time in the East where they can at least be a strong playoff team.

OKC gets rid of their big salary, especially CP3, and instead get the expiring of Lee and Jackson, along with tank commanders in THJ and Powell. Mavs could also give them Brunson who's shown a lot of promise. Either way, the Thunder get HUGE salary relief (total team salary falls from 133,377,251 to 111,213,285!!) for a bunch of contracts they don't want to be paying.

Mavs get Gallo who's a perfect fit, and get to experiment with Drummond to see how well he fits next to KP. If Drummond works, than the Mavs found one of the best rebounders and above the rim players to pair with KP and Luka. If not then Drummond walks and all they lost was Powell essentially. Snell is a long 6'6 F who also can add to the defense and 3 point shooting, he's faltered so far this year, but he can be another DFS.


I put the odds of this trade happening at 0%. But boy would it be entertaining.
