2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[DanSchwartzgan]

Who else is out there that is under 30 that is worth planning around?

Oladipo. Gobert is also a free agent in that year, but I doubt he fits. Of course both can sign extension or get traded before 2021.

2021 free agency pipedream is just stupid strategy.

I agree with the last sentence.  Build assets for a Freak trade maybe...not cap room.

I don't see Gobert and KP on the same team.  Oladipo is an interesting case.  I'm not sure he's a max guy, but if he is, an extension doesn't reach.  So, he either extends for less than his max or waits until he's free.  That is where the opportunity is.  He's the same age as Hardaway.  Is he that much better?  25 year old VO was better than 25 year old THJ.  27 year old VO is a shell of his former self right now.  I'm not sure he's worth skipping other opportunities for in order to try to sign him in 21...thus the last sentence of your post.
