Trade & FA 2024-25:

There is no unusual salary-match math on his contract afaik. It is about $2M. 

Cam Johnson is not an answer - Mavs already have a 4 they like, at a smaller salary.

Thanks for the clarification. 

I actually agree that Cam Johnson isn’t the answer right now. I don’t really think there is a trade that makes sense both from a talent upgrade perspective and the relative cost of the trade via contract matching. 


But I am interested perhaps in maybe one of the Indiana forwards currently buried behind Siakam. Obi Toppin matches a lot of what the Mavs like from that position. He can’t really shoot but his athleticism is enough to overcome that. Jarace Walker has been a big disappointment, but his contract fits pretty cleanly with Hardy’s upcoming one. His defensive versatility and size still interests me.
