2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[SleepingHero]

I feel like Memphis is trying everything to get something better than Lee+2nd rounder for Iggy. I think Dallas isn't budging which is good.

Iggy is what we need. We need that experience and level of defense, and we're one of the only teams that can actually match salaries.

So he is so awesome, that nobody wants to give up anything for him.

I mean, he's awesome for his role. The combination of his experience, defensive talent, passing ability, and versatility is rare, and is invaluable for the role he'd play in for a contender. 

Value is in the eye of the beholder however. Memphis wants the best assets for him, but the issue is the teams with the best assets (lottery level teams) aren't in the market for what Iggy brings. So thats the first factor leading to a depressed market. The teams that would give up assets for Iggy are playoff teams, but it's hard for most of the playoff teams to match Iggy's contract of 17 million. It'd require a high priced contract, which is usually a rotation player on these teams to make the trade work. And history tells us playoff teams aren't trying to shake their entire foundation in the middle of the season just to add a role player. 

That's why both the LA teams are pressuring for a buyout. That way they can just add a high level rotation player for free. Mavs are one of the few that can match salaries and be in the market for his services. This is why the Mavs shouldn't be in a rush for a deal with Memphis and why they shouldn't overpay. 

So yes Iggy is awesome, and any playoff team would want him. But you saying nobody wants to give anything for him is so far off the mark.
