Obviously DP should be movable with cash, but personally I'm hoping for a way to 2 added spaces, for Kai and for Exum also.
I wonder if someone would see enough value in Omax to make them willing to take him and DP as a pair, for air? Or Hardy?
Of the three, only Hardy could be called overpaid with a straight face, and his deal isn't that bad.
We (not you, but many) on this board play this ridiculous game where we A) decide the Mavs should trade players X and Y. Then, when they don't get traded, we decide they "have no trade value" or "the Mavs would have to attach an asset to get off them." The reality is that we don't even know if the Mavs tried (like, at all) to trade any of those dudes. There was talk of attempting to use O-Max and/or Hardy to get back into the draft, but we don't know if it was real, and if it was, we don't know if the player(s) our front office wanted to draft made it far enough for the plan to be attempted.
We just don't know. But, I'd bet that a home could be found for any/all of those three, if that's what they want to do. I don't know either, obviously, but that's how I feel.
MY issue is that I just can't see the vision Harrison/Kidd have for the team, so I find it hard to predict what I think they'll want to do. I, like you, would be very interested in getting Exum in and making Kai Jones the end of bench center. VERY interested. For all we know, Harrison is still a believer in Hardy (he did draft him) and part of the reason he's not freaking out about guards on the roster is he's hoping the kid finally has a breakout season.
