@"DanSchwartzgan" great post!
My gut feeling is that this move by Nico (getting off of KP at seeming rock bottom value) was a precursor kind of move. It feels like the Mavs know something about this summer about a possible big trade they are lining themselves up for.
My point being, I will be surprised if all they do this summer is "stand pat" and trade off THJ for some tax relief. If they surprise in the playoffs, maybe that is the course they go, but it seems to me that they know they are desperately missing that 2nd guy and will be willing to overhaul the roster to get there.
I personally think JB is still the path to that 2nd guy. I don't see him as the 2nd guy and so I think you need to be willing to move off of him to get that guy.
Any thoughts on all that?
