2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

Ya that GSW pick is a sticking point for sure. I'd like to avoid this whole problem by throwing the kitchen sink at RoCo now. Assuming we can't get him or Mavs are simply unwilling to part with Brunson others, who could be a needle-mover for Wolves then it's really a matter of how high a pick you want to give up. The one concern I have ab holding onto this GSW pick is the fact that next draft is supposed to be a very weak draft is it not? That to me would dilute the value of those picks. I also think Mavs are 1 impact wing away from doing some damage. Unless and until we can get a defensive wing in here I feel like this current roster is a 1-and-done 1st round exit.

I suspect that not having traded with Covington is that the Wolves either want to wait to see if they can trade him for D'Angelo, or the competitive offers that Minnie is holding from other teams are too good for the Mavs to match. If it really were a matter of genuinely not being willing to part with Justin Jackson and one of Wright and Brunson - two players who, from where I'm sitting, ***cannot*** both stay here healthily for them and the Mavs - then it would indicate that the Mavs have a codependency with Rick's love of small ball akin to Lamar Odom's addictions. Not being willing to trade either Brunson or Wright, who are cannibalizing each other's minutes, for a starter would be straight up dumb as dirt and had damn well better be nothing more than a negotiation tactic if that's what teams are hearing.
