2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[ItsGoTime]

Salary, offseason promises, and Mark's love affair with Powell is the only reason I can come up with in answer to why Maxi is not playing more with the starters. It's probably something else or this with something else added to it, but it just seems the eye test says Maxi should be with the starters more than DP. 

When Powell is on the floor with KP, the net rating is 13.5
When Maxi is on the floor with KP, the net rating is 2.9

No mystery here.

So then the better floor spacer is worse than having Powell out there? We need another floor spacer with KP why?

If Mavs get another big like Favors then it could bump Powell back to the bench where he and Maxi can dominate the other teams bench.

SO much this. How much greater could the bench get? Put Powell and Maxi there and watch the domination! 

Powell/Maxi/Curry/Wright/Brunson ... DOMINATION!

Favors fits so well in this way as well as being a guy that can be a much better upgrade to the starting unit, I just don't understand why the FO doesn't see it. High character guy, who has shown the ability to play the pick and roll effectively, much better defender and is a hustle guy too, I just don't get it.

Shaq and Barkley don't get it either. Lot's of people don't get it. The Mavs do get it though, and I'm comfortable in the belief they are just smarter than all the arm chair experts out there who don't get it. Donnie will go after a player that fits into the analytics based offense we run, and if he's successful, great, and if he's not, he won't panic into trading for a guy that doesn't fit what we want to bring in.

I worded that incorrectly because I have no idea what the FO thinks about Favors or any other player to be brought in here thought to be an upgrade on Powell (there are a few direct quotes on some players). I don't think you do either. You're content in the thought that they will always do what's best for the team, I'm not. I think they make mistakes. You may be content with saying they make mistakes, but you are not willing to try to figure out where those mistakes are, I'm not that way.
