2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Mavs2019]

Hmmmm, so putting some of these last few thoughts together our offesason could look a bit like this:

Wright and #31 for Lonzo Ball (I'd probably not do it if they required the #18 instead of #31, I don't know)

This is a stretch, I get it, just hoping to capitalize on some New Orleans drama and their sticker price shock from having to pay Ingram. This does give them a clear cut second string PG and allows for Jrue to be the only PG in the starting lineup.

THJ and JJ for OPJ

If he's as gettable as SBJ says, I'm all for it.

MLE for Christian Wood (more pipe dreaming).

Draft Josh Green who will develop in time to replace Curry when he gets too old.

Luka/Brunson/vet min
Ball/Curry/Green
OPJ/DFS/vet min or MKG
Wood/Kleber/vet min or MKG
KP/DP/Boban

 
I badly wanted the Mavs to pick up Wood as a UFA after he went undrafted. Now I´d be hesitant to pay him the full MLE based on six good months on a horrible team. 

That Lonzo deal ain´t happening in a million years. Lonzo/Ingram/Zion. That´s their core.

OPJ is very available imho. Bulls will look for the financially most advantageous offer. Given that nobody in the world will absorb his full salary, I think the previously mentioned scenario with $12.5M cap relief for next season is realistic.
