DRAFT: #18 [Green] & #31 [Terry] & trade for #36 [Tyler Bey]

[Scott41theMavs]

If they trade the pick for a vet then unless they are sending Wright or Powell they would be adding salary to the 2021 cap if the vet isn't on a 1 year deal.

I believe the Mavs’ wet dream right now is to combine Wright and #18 for a player who will A) play in the 2021 rotation and B) come off the books at the end of that season. In one fell swoop, they’d be improving the team next year and shedding Wright’s money PLUS that $2.4 million you mentioned for the #18 guy.

Will they be able to do that? Who knows, but based on the current rumors and observing how they’ve behaved in recent years it makes a ton of sense that this would be their goal.

I don’t expect a trade for any salary past 2021, or for them to use the full MLE on one player, for that matter.

I'd be quite angry if it's not a guy good enough to be a nice fallback if we can't get Giannis.

I expect to be quite angry.
