Guys, teams play to win now. I want to win in the playoffs this year. We can figure out next year, when it's next year. It's not like Igoudala's salary is going to be a problem. Mavs aren't giving up even first round pick. My goodness.
Just look at how Portland is playing now with Ariza? He's an old so called "has been" role player. But he bumped a scrub (Hezonja) who can't play and now they're winning and looking good doing so. If Portland suddenly goes on a run and makes the playoffs, and Dame goes into beast mode in thr first round, tell me who in Portland is going to cry "oh, but one of our rotation players is so old and won't be here forever..." ??? Nonsense.
Just because a guy is in his mid-thirties doesn't mean he can't play.
Hell, Lebron is 35.
Justin Jackson may be a decent player someday but honestly I think he stinks right now. Igoudala in his rocking chair is a huge upgrade. If the Mavs can land Iggy, and Luka goes bonkers in the playoffs, this team can beat anyone.
AGREED, not to mention IGGY has been just training this entire time, so he could arguably be better than the last couple years with an extended rest for once.

Bridges (PHO): Brunson + GSW Pick? RoCo project.
Thybulle (PHI): Curry + Brunson + GSW Pick for him and Korkmaz? Very young good prospects.
Gay (SAS): Lee + Jackson + GSW pick ? I feel like he can be a 12ppg and move DFS to the bench.
Harkless (LAC): Is one of the contracts they could move for Morris/Iggy/Young, maybe Lee + GSW pick for the team that gets him (NYK/MEM/CHI)?
only trade I would consider is Bridges. You guys seriously devaluing that GSW 2nd.
