2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[ItsGoTime]

Which teams do you think would be interested in trading for Myles Turner other the Mavs? Or, which team would have the need for Myles Turner and wpuld be willing to offer a better packagae for him?

I will say, that's the thing, he's been rumored to be available since the early part of this year, so they have gotten offers that they haven't accepted I'd assume. Who knows what or if the Mavs have gotten in on that.

Which makes all the sense in the world.

The media needs something to write about, so they make up trade rumours. Indiana is a small market team.

Turner has a contract until  2023. 

He has no leverage, even if he was unhappy. You know who has leverage? Their best and 2nd best player.

Sabonis is playing heavy minutes, and just became an All-Star, so he has no reason to be unhappy or leave anymore.

Oladipo is coming up in 2021. Trading away talent before Oladipo signs a new contract is not a good idea.

So if you ask me Indiana is only concerned about Oladipo´s contractual situation right now and until 2021. That´s a more likely trade to realize for the Mavs.

After 2021 the Pacers might entertain Turner offers below $1.50 on the dollar. Right now there is no pressure at all.

The rumors were circling around the team moving on from MT because Sabonis proved to be the better C for the team and the two didn’t work on the court well together. No leverage needed when it’s the team looking for the trade.

Oladipo might be another different situation from MT, and the team may or may not move on from him as well. I don’t see the relationship between the two situations though.
