A max Collins deal plus a max Trae extension is going to put them deep into luxury tax 1 yr from now unless they start finding ways to shed money. Hunter, Huerter will get paid in a couple years. So somebody is getting moved unless they want to have a 170 million dollar cap sheet.

Now they could move a guy like Gallo but maybe they don't want to. He is a guy you could keep one more year and then move. Maxi is an example of a cheap rotation player. So I don't think it's a done deal at all that they want to match a max offer especially if they don't get past the Sixers.

It was pretty public that Collins was available for the right price at the TDL. I don't think he was moved bc they knew the same type of offers would still be there in the summer.

I could see Dallas getting a couple of late 1st round picks out of that deal.

Then a trade of Powell, WCS and Burke gets you a $23.53~ million window to get Collins. In my estimation This deal would require a pick to OKC (maybe 2) and a pick to Atlanta.

At which point Dallas' payroll would skyrocket roughly $30 million BEFORE taking into account THJ and the full MLE...

Time to put Danny Green high on Mavs radar. Feels like Mavs will look his way again.

He fits the bill as a secondary playmaker with size, will be readily available, and off the court is a big crypto promoter that could appeal to a guy like Cuban. It also won't surprise me if Dallas and Brooklyn find a mutually beneficial way to swap Dinwiddie and Redick in some sort of S&T deal.

I have two major drawbacks with him. First I know he’s a really bad 3 pt shooter but is he at least any good as a spot up guy? Or is there any chance he could be? And can he be a good team defender? He certainly got good size for a perimeter player.

They say McCollum doesn't play defense and Powell is a good defender.

I wouldn't mind having either guy.

I believe CJ has a lot more value than KP on the open market. You can't have enough big-time efficient guard scorers in the NBA. I wish Mavs had a path to get CJ (ie KP) but I believe they will go a different direction. There's really so many guys they could trade him for it will be hard to narrow down until we start seeing some real leaks.

If there was a Blazers opportunity for the Mavs to me it would be KP for Nurkic, RoCo, DJJ. Niurkic is a good player but I am pretty sure they will want to try something else, DJJ fell out of the rotation, so the main asset they would be trading is RoCo. KP's contract is so big I don't know the Blazers would do that but with a big shakeup you never know. Trading this package for KP, then CJ for another star-ish player could give them a brand new look in the starting lineup.

He's missed alot of games the last few years, has had a bunch of injuries and plays no defense. Sound familiar? 
He's also on a big money deal and is a low 20s ppg scorer. That also describes KP. 

I think McCollum definitely has more value. But if KP has little value, McCollum can't have alot of value either.
