2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

I also think that the Mavs need at least one more big.

I don't think this is a plan at all. Perhaps low cost end of the bench guy, but don't expect him to see minutes. Outside of the three bigs in Orlando we have WCS and Powell.

Would be really happy if the Mavs could do something like...

While I like your ideas, I am affraid there would not be enough minutes to pass around and some guys will be unhappy. For example you have Jackson as number 3 behind DFS and Kleber at PF. No way he sees minutes this way.

Trade: Jackson + #18 for Royce O´Neale + future pick

I don't think this is realistic. It is difficult to get player like O'Neale and Utah is definitely making a step back with this trade, even without mentioning the future pick on their side. I would love O'Neale though

Cedi Osman

I have mentioned him several times. I am not really sure his defense is bad. He is a very high energy guy. He would fit on Mavs. I think he is definitely worth (at least) #31. His contract is very decent and he is definitely an upgrade over Jackson. 

THJ

I love the way he was playing this season and he looks like a very good guy to have around. But, I don't think there is any hurry to resign him unless he is taking a serious paycut. Which I doubt he is. I think he can collect his money, have another good season and Mavs can extend him anytime. I would certainly not be comfortable signing him for his current money for another 3-4 seasons. If he would be willing to discuss up to 60 for 4 years (45 for 3), I would be interested.
