2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[JamesConway]

Assuming we won't trade anyone of our core, that leaves Jackson and Wright as the salary leaving, meaning we can only take back 19M in salary. Gordon would be my primary target, but we might not have the best assets to adquire him. Another option is a simple swap of Wright for Thad Young (maybe add #31?).

"According to executives from two other teams, Thad Young, not LaVine, is the player considered most readily available. That’s largely based on Young’s displeasure with his role and usage last season, his team-friendly deal that carries only a partial guarantee in 2021-22 and his dependability and professionalism."

Doncic (34) / Brunson (18)
THJ (28) / Curry (24)
DFS (28) / #18 or MLE (18)
Young (26) / Kleber (20)
KP (34) /Boban (10)

I think Gordon is within reach but I'm lukewarm on him at best. The good thing is that he'd play PF here along a bunch of floor spacers which should be a drastic difference to what he's used to in ORL and help him offensively. Defensively he'd be a great help, I have no doubt about that.

But I worry that he might just be what he is at this point. Not sure I'd be willing to move #18 for him.
