THJ is better IMO (and a KNOWN fit) and the same age.

Do you think he is really that much better than THJ? He scores more, but with same efficiency. Not necesary he would get as many shots in Dallas. Or were you thinking about another combination?
I suppose it depends how much THJ is going to cost us.

I tend to agree. Luka, THJ, Hield, KP, another body would probably be just lights out combination. Scoring 220 points per game and getting between 180 and 250
Btw: do you know what is THJ 2020 cap hold if he declines his option? Same as in 2021?
I don't think THJ is going anywhere. If he opts out, it will be because Cuban has promised him a long term contract. I could also see him resigning for something along the lines of 5 years for 100 million. I personally think THJ has found a home in Dallas and he has become a ELITE shooter here. You can't pay the guy based on his Knicks years. His value is based on his current season and his value is at a all time high for him. I love how he has learned to limit his shots when he's way off and when he's hot, he lights it up. He's cold blooded too. He's a alpha shooter and we need that. We have other strong shooters, but they won't always pull the trigger. I'm sure most will want to sign him at 15 per, but that's not happening unless he drops off dramatically the rest of the season.
Trade for Kelly Oubre (PHO) and find a way to extend him to 15-20M/year. He might be on the trade block this summer. Everyone is available except our duo. Find a way to keep three of Brunson/Curry/DFS/Maxi for our bench crew. A good big (maybe eith the MLE?) would come in great since our big man rotation is KP/Maxi/WCS (Not sure when DP comes back). Some that might fit the MLE: Saric (PHO), Baynes (PHO), Leonard (MIA), Olynyk (MIA), Noel (OKC), Poeltl (SAS).

I still don't think he will because I'm not sure if there is enough cap space out there to make it worth it to him. I really wonder what the value of his next contract will be. I would love to keep him here cheaper, something like 12-14 million/year, but I don't know if that is realistic.
Will be interesting to see what happens. I feel like we're so far down the 2021 capspace route that it doesn't make sense to add long term salary this summer. Pretty sure that's the MBT's mindset too or they would have found an upgrade trade this past year.
If anything I could see a scenario where THJ opts out, finds the market is more deflated than expected and then signs a one year deal about the size of the contract he opted from. That would protect him a bit since he could veto a trade
I like the idea of being flexible to get max cap space in the summer of 2021, but I hope the Mavs don't take that to the extreme this summer.
Teams have proven it is far from impossible to get rid of salary when necessary, so the MBT needs to maximize the draft picks we have along with the MLE to get players that can help, but that may also be assets to another team if we need to move them to fulfill that max cap space dream.
If the Mavs can convince THJ to opt out and sign a smaller $/year deal for another 3-4 years, we then keep a player that has become valuable, but also make him more of an asset as well. Still unlikely to happen, at least at a dollar amount I would like.

"Dallas Mavericks ($23.3M) — The Mavs are a real wild card here. I’d put the odds of Hardaway opting out at less than 50-50 but not zero, especially if he has a strong finish and playoffs. If both Hardaway and Willie Cauley-Stein opt out of their option years, the Mavs would be looking at $23.3M in room — that’s if they have the 19th pick in the draft. The Mavs could get to max territory by trading Justin Jackson or trading their first-round pick for a future pick.
The Mavs obviously would be in a strong position in the market here, given their rosy future and warm, tax-free market. However, it’s not much of a market at the guard spots — if they can’t get Hayward or VanVleet, their best move is likely just re-signing Hardaway.
Hmm...
I wonder how good of a shot the Mavs have with Anthony Davis. I mean if all we need to give up is THJ/Lee/Jackson to get the space for Davis, that should be really enticing on paper. I mean if you're Davis, who do you want to hitch your wagon to? 36 year old Lebron? Or Luka+KP and the incredibly deep team of the Mavs?
Obviously it'd never happen because I think AD wants to be on the Lakers for more than basketball. But still, a guy can dream.

So... who was the trade and extend guy?
Best thing about that is that it shows a willingness not to play the Plan Powder game for 2021.
Hopefully so
I want us to be a luxury tax team damn it.

Probably Iggy and Green.
Green for sure, Iggy maybe. I also wonder if Gallo was in play. I am not sure Iggy was the other one though bc the Grizz got Winslow out of that deal which to me is higher value than the GSW 2nd. It would make sense that the Mavs would give up GSW if they had a similar extension to the one Miami did.
The other guy I wonder ab is Gallo. Maybe they were closing in on him.
The extension part sounds like Gallo because those were the reports about Miami also.
Plugging Gallo into this offense would be insane.

Yes they would! And plugging him into the defense would be equally catastrophic.
I would be very content if we found a way to SnT for Gallo (not getting him otherwise). I still think Gordon is more likely.
