2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[ItsGoTime]

I think lopsided is in the eye of the beholder:

The question to answer is what the goal of the trading partner is...
IF Minnesota's goal is to have enough cap space to money whip 2 key FA's this summer then getting them the most cap space is more important than getting them the best value in terms of players. From that perspective Jalen Brunson might be the highest leveraged asset Minnesota can get. He is a 2nd year player who is more experienced than his salary and years of service would indicate.

Dallas also can get Dieng off their books.

Now as bad as these assets appear because we don't think highly of anyone outside of 77, KP, and Maxi; realize that we sent much less appealing assets to NY for a much better player in KP for basically the same value (getting THJ  & Lee off their books) and pipe dream.

The only tangible evidence we currently have is the Teague trade in which they give up a good bench/bad for them starter who should have had at least some value in trade and traded him for space. Not sure why Graham was also included, he seems like a throw in player in a lopsided players trade. 

So, if the only evidence we have is Min trying to clear their books and roster numbers, makes me think their motivation is either clearing money for something they're gunning for in the offseason, or getting rid of #s because all the trades they're hearing teams willing to give up are all lopsided players trades. Also makes me think they're close to the deal right now by pulling the trigger on the Teague deal.
