2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[omahen]

We will empty every asset we have to get 1-year of this guy?

Signing an extension would be a condition. Or we would at least have to be certain, he wants to stay (meaning we are prepared to pay him up to 20 per). 

Just wait for his FA in 2021 since PHI don't have money to pay him.

Which is exactly why they will trade him before his FA. He is not a great fit there as long as the team is constructed as it is. Of, course, if they bring CP3 for Horford, the situation changes immediately and a lot of things would look very right. 

Trade Delon + Jackson + 2nd for an expiring like Ariza/Gay/Green/Oubre/T. Young that can defend the wing/forward, spend the MLE on a young guy with upside, draft BPA at 18 and call it a day.

I am pretty certain offseason will be boring for us  However, I am certainly not paying the #31 for Ariza or Gay. Ariza will be most likely cut anyway, as his contract isn't fully guaranteed. If Lakers are moving Green, they are moving him for something very good (together with Kuzma plus whatever assets they have left). Otherwise he will stay where he is. Oubre or Young I am ok. Wright is not that bad, just Dallas situation with Brunson and Curry is not great for him. Plus he will be expiring next summer and much easier to move (if needed). I still think Wright straight up for Snell or even Aminu (plus 2nd rounder or two) is a realistic least ambitious trade for better fit. Jackson can be salary filler if needed or we try to get a second rounder for him. If not possible, he can stay as a third wing. He is expiring anyway.

Our bench would instantly become very bad offensively.

Main argument is, we are building for the play-offs. And as I said, top 8 guys rotation, which is what you need for play-offs, would be absolutely awesome. Plus we have the MLE. Vet min guys and MLE should be enough to fill bench good enough to take us to survive regular season comfotably.
