Shams: Nico to be fired today!

In any kind of "fire sale" situation, the exchange goals are pretty clear. The Mavs will want draft capital, first and foremost. We can speculate on how much they'd get for any of those guys, but my guess is that it's less about what they're worth and more about how much the teams who want them have to offer. It's probably not going to result in an OKC level draft pick stock pile (one of the reasons I'm not sure I'd jump into that plan without carefully considering). Next, if they're lucky, they might be able to come away with some young, overlooked gems...Max Christie types, basically. The kind of guys for whom regular play is needed and enticing, even if they're not ready to be catalysts for winning, necessarily. Maybe 1-3 of them can end up being "finds."

Lastly, I'd expect a TON of bad, bad salary attached to players who will end up at the very end of this bench until it expires. 

It won't be pretty.

Kyrie,  AD, Klay all need to go.   They can tip the scale for a team on the verge, that should net some draft picks.  Would be nice if PJ Washington would stay, he belongs in Dallas. Mavs should follow the OKC model.
