LOL he mentions Dallas pick likely paired with Bertans and McGee to bring in immediate help.  Unbelievable....need to devalue the 10th pick to move two guys your new front office targeted.  One as your MLE and the other because he would be easier to move than KP.    If that is their thinking...I am out.

Honestly, resetting the payroll wouldn’t be the worst use of the #10 pick.  I’d do something like this: Bertans, McGee, and #10 to the Spurs for Bassey (an intriguing, young, and cost controlled big), #33, and #44. I’d let Wood and Powell walk. If I could dump THJ, Bullock, and Maxi, I’d do that too, just couldn’t figure out how. Trade Machine wouldn’t let me put more salary into the San Antonio trade. It’s unreal. The Mavs seemingly have an unending supply of useless, highly paid players. If we could just get rid of all of the ridiculous bloat, I’d feel much better about the future. The outlook for this team with all of these overpriced, aging vets is bleak.  They’ve got to go.

Best of all, since I live in San Antonio’s regional market, if Operation Fresh Start fails, I can just switch my allegiance to the Spurs in three years when they inevitably pair Wemby with Luka. That #10 pick will be coming into his own too. I’ll be able to root for a well run, championship team, while saving $250 a year in League Pass costs.  It’s all upside for me.
