2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[HanspardsShowerVoice]

After the report today on Aaron Gordon I have a strong suspicion the mavs may have been close to trading for him. 

First off Gordon isn’t in the magic long term plans. 
AG has been pretty awful this year. His trade value has cratered. And from the sounds of it magic couldn’t get much at all for him. 

I think they decided to pull the plug on a deal to try and get some actual value out of him this summer if he turns it around. 

Why the mavs tho? Ag is a Duffy guy. Luka and Ag could possibly be a fantastic combo together if AG pnr game holds up under large volume. AG can potentially provide the Dwight Powell role with good 3 pt shooting when he’s going. 

   IMHO, Gordon is the perfect 4 to pair with Luka and KP.     To me he's very much like Shawn Marion before he came to the Mavs.    You narrow down the scope of what he's previously been asked to do as a marquee player on his previous teams, and let get him focus on what he can do extremely well as a supporting role player.    In this case, he can be a guy who can switch defend 1-5 and provide Powell caliber rim running on offense and bump his 3 point shooting up like you've done with THJ and DFS. You completely take the midrange offense out of his game, which is a weakness.   He's also a sneaky good passer and playmaker.   Zach Lowe when talking about Gordon always mentions that there are several teams always working to get him off the Magic because they see that player in him.   I suspect it's all the strong analytic driven front offices, including the Mavs.
