NBA Trade Rumors |

Hi! Long time lurker here.

What do you think about Delon Wright plus Justin Jackson, GSW 2nd Round Pick, and Utah 2nd Round Pick for Robert Covington? Would that offer be enough?

Welcome Lui the Lurker.

When I first read that, I thought it was way too much.

Then it dawned on me that I had just worked up a very similar outgoing in a 3 way with Minnesota and GSW.

So now I think your proposal is brilliant.  I'm not sure what GSW thinks it will get for Russell this summer.  They need a shooting SF and someone to fill the Livingston role.  Wright can do the latter quite well and Covington would also be a nice pickup for them.  I see Wright and Covington as roughly equivalent players.  Teague would simply be an expiring deal holding down the fort for the rest of the season.

Minnesota probably has to add something to GSW here, not the Mav's.  Jackson for WCS (Looney also works) is simply trying to fill a need for big man depth.  I don't think Dallas would have to give up the GSW #2.  The nice thing here is Dallas can still use Lee or the TPE and the GSW #2 to add something else if they wish.  Or, because they didn't spend much in the way of 2020 money, they can afford to use the full MLE this summer.
