2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

the fact that no trade materialized does not make gathering the ammunition wrong

But of course it does, come on! It means they were not able to execute the plan they set for themselves. How is this not a fail? 

Not paying 15 million for a guy you think is worth 10 million is a fail. Because the alternative is, that you have nothing. Nothing doesn't make you better. 15 million guy worth 10 million does. Just look at THJ. He is overpaid, but we would be much worse without him. This goes to - we had plenty of cap space, that is gone now, we could use for a lot of guys we liked, even if we overpayed. Now we can't get them.
