2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[ItsGoTime]

New rotation:
Luka/JB
Bog/Snell
RoCo/DFS
Gordon/Maxi
Turner/Dedmon

So lets trade away essentially the entire team for new guys in the middle of the season? 

I like Bog, I like Gordon, I like RoCo, I like Turner. There is 0 chance we can get all 4. Add on Snell and Dedmon?? 

Bog+Dedmon is reasonable because of Sac's circumstances but still a stretch. RoCo for just a first and a GSW 2nd? Dallas trades away KP for Turner and Gordon in some extremely complicated 4 team trade?

I mean I love the creativity and I'm not trying to demean the idea, but its just so far fetched to ever get behind.

And thats before we sober up and realize the Mavs aren't trading KP unless it brings back an established superstar with contract control, and even then it depends on the circumstances. 

This team when healthy was on a 56 win pace. They should be making incremental upgrades, not foundation changing ones in the middle of the season. Now that Powell's gone for at least a year, they should be looking for at least a mid-tier move to replace Powell's production. But I don't think that involves a complete restructuring of the entire team.

I get it. I did preface it all to being my dream scenario that would never happen. 

I don't think the team as currently constructed is a playoff winning team. They are the Rockets without the superstar notoriety that gets fouls called for them in the playoffs. They are also a Houston-esk live by the 3 die by the 3 team with on par defense to them.

As such, I'd overhaul the whole team if this is the end result. That is a team that has Luka as a perennial MVP candidate and at least 1 out of 3 starters that goes to the allstar game every year (Gordon, Bog or Turner) barring a meteoric rise by one or more of them from switching teams and being in a possibly better situation and reaching superstar status. That team has offense and defense. Maybe not as much offense as this current team (but maybe so), but for sure more defense than we currently have. Getting the offense and defense closer together in ranking would make this team very dangerous in the playoffs. That's not to mention these guys are at least a little bit more durable than what we currently have. They also play bigger than they are, unlike our current group.

The 4 team trade is not just KP for all those pieces, it's KP, THJ and Wright for Turner, Bog and Gordon while taking on Dedmon's contract with 2 firsts and 1 second. We give up the best player in the trade along with THJ who has shown to be close to the others in production this year. I think the only team that wants more in the trade is possibly Orl.
