I just hope they aren't woefully stupid enough to believe he's actually going to play (i.e., holding a rotation spot for him in their plans as opposed to a Bobi/JJB/RFA role) next year. The only real hope to freeing up what is for all intents and purposes dead money is that he do the Mavs the solid of retiring in 2021 or so. Or perhaps he could be traded at some point with the understanding that the other team would cut him and he would come back as an assistant coach. If he has one thing, it's BBIQ. Man went to Stanford, after all.
I thought MBT would never trade Harrison Barnes or Wesley Matthews. I didn't think they had the balls to trade DSJ as early as they did. They're more than capable of twisting the knife into their dearly beloved than we imagine.
It would be unwise to hold a rotation spot for him, which is why I believe dumping his salary asap is paramount. He isn't Nurkic from POR, and even then POR still went out to obtain Whiteside.
His contract has essentially become the Courtney Lee TPE but instead it's for 3 years instead of 1. Are you willing to attach assets to clear his salary?

Even though he is a MBT favorite, I have to believe they have a boiling point when it comes to price/production.
Yes, no team wants him, so what does it take to dump him?
Delon/Powell/Jackson + 2020 1st rounder for OPJ/Hutchison + 2nd rounder? Is this reasonable?
