RealGM TRADES section has a thread dedicated to finding Mavs a tweener wing. Granted it was two Magic fans chiming in...but they said Chuma Okeke is gettable for cheap...like a 2nd round pick. They claim he has the size we want plus he plays defense. Questionable shooter though.
Seems like all the other back and forth convo involved players Mavs would have to overpay for. Im curious is Okeke is worth anything on the floor to Dallas or its a hard pass for a reason?
There is convo that involves reacquiring DFS. I dont know how you all feel about that. Get Caruso and DFS and then get Drummond/Craig for cheap. I dont know how doable that is. Just relaying info. Seems like Mavs are always stuck trying to find a niche player for their system.
I thought about Okeke this offseason and I agree he wouldn't cost a lot. He seems more like an offseason type move though if you believed in the player. I am actually not sure what second round picks we can offer plus the salary match.
DFS would cost at least a first round pick...maybe more. He is playing well and even if he may have slowed down some, it doesn't appear to be showing. He is a guy that most teams would have interest in due to his salary and skillset. Same thing with Caruso who I think almost every team would have interest in. I think both would take most of the assets we currently have. I don't think either turn us into a contender this year.
