2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[cow]

So we are back to the summer discussion about Kemba Walker and the fact that this team needs a 3rd star player to carry a heavy workload and cover for the Porzingis injury/rest periods.

Furthermore they screwed up with the re-signing of Powell and the signing of Boban. Those two are just too much of niche players to cover Porzingis for extended minutes on either end of the floor. If you gave that money to somebody like Favors (his own injury history aside) you´d at least be well protected on the defensive end (in the absence of Porzingis).

Once they committed to Porzingis they should have had a very detailed plan on how to cover for those Porzingis rest periods. If they really thought he could go 100 games every year (regular season, play-offs, Latvian national team) they are fools.

Boban seems like a mistake since the team doesn't take advantage of his historic skillset.   Powell was an elite rim runner, is a legacy culture guy and does a lot of community work.  There was little chance that the MBT would let him walk and for those reasons, he'll probably not be traded.  He might be overpaid now, but his contract certainly isn't terrible.  We do need to figure out a way to sure about the 4/5 spot.  Jackson playing the 4 is nuts.

What does everyone's buy/sell list look like.

Buy:  Maxi, DFS, THJ
Neutral:  Curry, JJB, Bro, 
Sell:  Boban, Brusnon, Wright, Jackson, Powell, Lee
