2021-2022 AROUND the NBA: GSW Champs [ARCHIVED]

[Smitty]

I think DP would take a hometown discount.  He's much closer to a veteran minimum salary than the $10-11m he is making now.  Maxi's long term health is worrisome.  He's a backup 4/5.  Playing him minutes beyond that is recipe for injury.  He only makes $8m now?  I'm not sure I'd pay him that again.  I'm not so sure someone else wouldn't though.

We need a younger Maxi. Extend at your own risk.

The problem is how paper thin you are at the position.  The trades you make if you are going to get rid of your draft pick and move THJ need to be for a 4/5.

With Jalen about to break the bank, we really need a guy on a rookie deal that can contribute.  I don't think Josh Green is close to that level of contribution yet.

I want to keep Maxi next year in the last year of his deal. I've got a fantasy trade(s) idea on what I think makes the Mavs the best team in bball next year.
