2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Mavsfan12]

Otto Porter would be a HUGE upgrade to DFS in the starting lineup - same D with elite level efficiency from 3.  He was banged up early this year (hip) coming into the season.  He was getting on track and then sprained his foot.  Also, remember that you are also likely trading THJ or Lee (plus sweetener) to get him.  I would trade for Barnes if that is what I was sending out.  Porter would thrive here - if he can stay healthy.  With the Mavs depth with DFS there, the mavs could limit his minutes to keep him healthy.  He would be a HUGE upgrade though.  He would provide gravity and be a weapon, rather than DFS who teams are scheming to leave open.  FINALLY!  A two-way wing.

We could save CHI a ton of cash and they are still rebuilding.  Let them develop JJax.  Sending out THJ/JJax for Porter saves CHI around 8.5M over the next 2 seasons - and that is without taking back a bad contract into our exception.  Unless CHI really plans to keep OPJ long term, (he is a FA in 2 years), why not offload him and develop a younger player while you are living in the lottery?  For Dallas, the only reason you don't make this trade is if you somehow have something better, or if you are scared off by the medical.  OPJ matches up with the 21 FA class, and fills an huge need now.

Tell me you don't want a bit of this on the wing between Luka/KP!
