2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[dirkfansince1998]

I think most players that would actually help the Mavs are just outside of MLE range.  The biggest need is a strong defensive wing with a good 3-point shot. A lot of players can do one of both and the guys that can do both will get paid.
Top of the list for me would be Joe Harris (incredible shooting, less defense), Jerami Grant and Moe Harkless (more defense, less shooting). Bogdanovic and Hayward (PO) are even better but will probably get even more or just stay with their team.
More realistic scenario would be a veteran like Crowder, Bradley, Marvin Williams, the return of Wes Matthews?
Next we have younger players that disappointed on their previous teams. Josh Jackson, Derrick Jones Jr, Glenn Robinson III or Pat Connaughton.
Personally I will closely watch the Thunder in the coming weeks. Andrew Roberson cannot shoot but in 2017 and 2018 he probably was a top 3 defensive wing. If he is back to his former self he could really help the Mavs.

I also think that the Mavs need at least one more big. Ideally some kind of (maybe undersized) PF/C hybrid with good defense in the paint and on the perimeter. Bigger names that are probably getting more than the MLE include Tristan Thompson, Derrick Favors, Paul Millsap, Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol. I think most teams will chase Woods and Harrell because of their age.
More likely options for the Mavs would be Mason Plumlee, Meyers Leonard, Jamychal Green or Aron Baynes.

Mavs obviously have more options with the #18 and #31. Personally I would probably try to use #18 + Jackson and/or Powell/Wright to trade for a wing and draft a backup big with #31.

Would be really happy if the Mavs could do something like...

Split MLE: Josh Jackson, Andrew Roberson (not sure if other teams are willing to give more than the minimum)
Draft: #31 Azubuike
Trade: Jackson + #18 for Royce O´Neale + future pick

Doncic / Wright / Brunson
THJ / Curry
O´Neale / Roberson / (Reaves 2-way)
DFS / Kleber / Jackson
Porzingis /  Boban / Azubuike / (Powell)

Take a look around the league and fill out the roster with vet min guys. Maybe bring back Lee and Kidd-Gilchrist. Bring back Yogi?
Or sign reclamations projects like Mudiay or Hezonja.

I think the coming offseason is more about smaller improvements. Adding minor pieces and some better fitting role players is a better option than a  gamble on big names with huge questionmarks.
