2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

I forgot about Wright, that does make a lot of sense as he gives you defense, playmaking, is younger and is also on a very good contract. I think that trade would make sense for both teams.

I"ve put Wright in quite a few trades, even before the article with him saying he wants to start. I think separating JB and DW would do wonders for both of their careers, and open up the ability to play taller/bigger players on up the totempole for our team's bench unit. I think I may have proposed this exact deal, and a deal with Dieng for Lee in it to add value too.

The solitary reason I would even begin to consider Brunson over Wright as the keeper is age. I trust Wright more in every other category and consideration - most of all, even after start-or-role-gate, in terms of attitude. Size and defense are the other big ones. I also believe that Brunson's age and his rookie contract serve to make him a bit more valuable to other teams in trade than Wright.

If you can get anything whatsoever back for Jackson, of course you deal him, especially if some other team is cretinously stupid enough to regard him as a sweetener in a trade for a guy who would legit be part of the 9-man rotation (which Jackson undeservedly is right now). Brunson and Powell I would trade if you're going to get a player back who upgrades your 8-man rotation over all. THJ I would trade if the player coming back is better, period. The other four non-Luka/KP rotation players - Maxi, Wright, DFS, and Curry, in that order of priority and preference - I only let go of for a player who is at worst our third-best player by a huge margin over his biggest Mav competition for that title, and absolutely the only scenario I trade more than one of those four is if an All-Star on a fair contract (i.e. no John Wall or even Chris Paul, for example) is coming back.
