2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[StepBackJay]

I'm with Kamm. I might give the GSW pick for a half-year rental of Lebron or Kawhi, but not Iggy.

I don't see Mavs or anybody trading for injured players. You just don't see that very often.

Ummm....

Probably unrealistic. I know we did it last year for Porzingis but they were also tanking so we had more flexibility with recovery times. It sucks that both of them are hurt but I think I would still do it. I take any combination of their bad contracts to get Markkanen in here.

I know there are some who actually want OPJ here as a player, but I need both Markkanen and WCJ to take back that contract, tbh.

I agree the circumstances are different. I just thought his statement was ironic.

KP at the time was saying he was ready to play. Mavs kept him on the shelf but not because he was injured. I also said "very often" which is true. The KP deal was a once in a generation coups for any team so it is for sure the exception, not the rule. There are just not very many deals where you give up damaged goods DSJ + expirings for an all-star 23 year old player. Donnie made it happen but it doesn't mean anything like that is going to happen again anytime soon. These OPJ deals, I don't anticipate any player getting moved if he's injured right now. Further I don't see Markkanen getting moved, he has too much upside to give up on now.

So thanks for linking the Fish tweet, this is all starting to make more sense:

I didn't recall there being a firm offer last summer, lots of noise but I don't remember a verified "The Mavs have offered Lee + a 2nd." That being said it seems plausible that such an offer was made (which 2nd round pick was offered is debatable) and Memphis decided to just wait until the TDL to see if they could get something better. It's also possible that the pick was the GSW pick which has risen in value since then. But if that's the case it seems like Memphis would have called Dallas back and been like actually you know what Lee + a high 2nd round pick **does** sound pretty nice, let's do that deal.

At any rate as each day passes it seems more an more likely that a deal is there to be made btwn Dallas and Memphis for Iguodala be it GSW or some other 2nd round pick or two.
