2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

We will find this in less then a year. Mavs will be deep in tax if they want to keep at least this level of talent and don't make moves at TDL. They have 137 mil of salaries committed next season unless they let Kleber walk and dump Powell (not fully guaranteed next season). Keeping the team means every dollar for new DFS and Brunson contract is basically tax. 

This is an aspect that could dictate Mavs moves at TDL. Trading DFS and/or Brunson with a contract like Powell/Kleber/Bullock for a good player could allow Dallas to stay below tax next season while keeping similar level of talent. For example Brunson and Powell for Wood.

No offense but I would venture to say that Brunson is better than Wood and that is a lopsided trade, IMO. 

Brunson is our 3rd best player and there are other players on the roster I would move before moving him. 

Trading him could lead to another Seth Curry situation as Brunson is still improving as a player and has not reached his ceiling. 

We should be trading people to keep Brunson, not trading Brunson to get people IMO. He is a championship piece.
