2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[SkenfromLMF]

Probably too early for final predictions bc the rumor mill will heat up in the final days before the TDL but my current thought is this:

- Price for RoCo will probably be too high and good chance he isn't traded
- Not impossible that Mavs don't find a trade at all for Lee
- Still would bet that Iguodala is most likely scenario

I still say that the Mavs failing to use either (let alone both) of Lee and the TPE is unacceptable. They are not in a position not fail to use the tools they have. That said, they gave themselves a little moral wiggle room with the shrewdness of the WCS trade. If he's here next year (if not, that wiggle room goes away completely, but that's a long-term, after-the-fact judgement as opposed to an immediate trade grade or non-trade-grade assessement).

I guess the issue is what if you can't find anyone? To me the only way you could guarantee you can get *someone* that can make your rotation is by spending the GSW pick. If Mavs are unwilling to move that pick for what might be a rental player situation then there's no guarantee they could find a deal. The buyout market isn't always flush with players. I mean this year you might have Evan Turner? Not sure who else but I am just saying there's not a guarantee Mavs get someone if they aren't willing to give up real assets (ie GSW pick or a young player).

The other guy I really like that had fallen off my radar is Marcus Morris. He is balling on a bad Knicks team. I have always liked his edge, defense and intensity. He can be a bit of a chucker but I think he would still fit the Mavs. Morris would be a candidate to start or could come off the bench. I do think you'd have to give up that GSW pick but it's possible you could bring him back next year for a 1 yr MLE if things work out.

Good point... but that did not stop the Mavs from signing DeAndre Jordan. I am on the fence with Morris. I'd rather load up for Covington or lay up for Iggy. I'd hate to think that we settle for Morris with better options still in play.
