2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[DanSchwartzgan]

The sign and extend may  possibly be for Andre Iguodala, and the other is for Danny Green, in which the Lakers refused to include Slim Shady in the trade.

For the sake of this summer, I really hope Cuban's definition of "really big" is something greater than Iggy and Green.

IGT:  Olynyk doesn't fit the rules (at least not yet) for an extend and trade.  He certainly could have been part of the other trade where a team didn't want to give up a key player.

As I said in a prior post, the extend and trade guy has to be expiring (no options) and is probably a fairly highly paid UFA this summer.  Good RFA's (and low dollar UFA's) will make more if they wait as there is a limit to the amount someone can be paid in the extension part. 

If we are looking ahead to the summer, we probably have to take into account who we were willing to trade (reportedly Wright and Jackson) to see where the outgoing salary might land.  Those two will get you to the $19 million area in terms of returning players.  One of the reasons we may have kept Lee over R.F.A. is he can help "manufacture" more outgoing salary than the minimum wage guys.  If you need an additional $3-$5 million in outgoing salary, you can S&T Lee at that level.  You can't do that with Broekhoff.
