This is just not understandable to me. Why is this not used more often when trading for expiring contracts?
Pat Riley has taken GMs to school in the last 6 months (if he really pulls this off). Out of a team in cap hell, with a bunch of overpriced long term contracts, he made a contender in 6 months by bringing in an all star in his prime, former MVP and borderline all star. Wow!!!
More often than not when teams are trading for expiring contracts it's because they want cap relief for the next season, not the player they're trading for.
In regards to Gallinari, he would seem to be a good fit from an offensive perspective, but aren't the Mavs on the record as looking for a defensive wing? I haven't watched Gallinari play much, but just looking at the numbers I don't think he fits that description.
