If the Mavs just extended Josh Green and made it to the Finals (won the finals) how could anyone say that the next move is to trade him to clear space for DJJ?
I think you added Maxi in this group for salary reasons also but how can anyone think the Mavs are willing to trade him and his important role (every team in the NBA is trying to find a Maxi) to clear space for DJJ?
It’s not that those CAN’T happen but your previous post was that one of those things is extremely likely.
For one thing, you are still missing the point. Very badly. Maybe you aren’t doing it on purpose, maybe you just didn’t read very carefully. Or hey, maybe I didn’t make myself clear enough. The point was about Jones AND another player. But…
I would MUCH rather trade any of those names you mentioned than let Jones walk. Let’s assume for a second that things CAN’T be accomplished by simply trading Hardaway. What if his worst detractors are correct, and nobody will take him without multiple first round picks? I don’t believe that for a second, but sign me up to trade Green’s ass before I give somebody a hoard of assets just to take Hardaway off our hands, and there is no way I’m not gonna figure out a way to re-sign Jones if I’m in charge.
To me, this is so obvious. If they can just dump hardaway and get all accomplished, great! He’s not even in the rotation for this team right now, regardless of how you weigh in on him as a player. I’m just saying that it seems pretty likely to me that it’s going to get more complicated than that, especially given Dan’s good point that there might be other areas that need addressing, too, not just re-signing Jones. Keyword being “might.”
