2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[omahen]

I get that you think Hield is the opportunity

In the idea above, Bagley is the opportunity. Hield basically kills our flexibility and I want a reward to take his contract. But yeah, he can shoot. If we can bring one very good defender who is at least passable on offense, this team could sport a very decent lineup. 

but given the relationship with Luka, aren't the Mav's more likely to pursue Bogdanovic

Relationship? They know each other, but I didn't notice they are some great friends. I have mixed feelings about Bogdanovic. Is he really good enough to be number 3 guy on a contender? I doubt. He brings secondary playmaking, but his defense is not elite. That's why I have a problem paying him as a star (in terms of assets). Kings on the other hand don't need to attach assets to move him, there are plenty other teams with suitable contracts. The most viable option I see is Lee SnT + 5 million cash + #18. What would you trade for him, assuming he signs for 15 per? 

I like your ideas around Richardson much better.

Thanks, me too. But who knows, if this trade is possible

---

That´s $86.5M. They can easily get that max money slot. Just not re-signing Bogdanovic this summer does the trick already. They can take their two projected lottery picks and combine them with their only "bad" contract in Barnes.

It was you who said they are resigning Bogdanovic. So now you basically confirmed what I was saying. If they want flexibility, they will either not resign Bogdanovic or get out of two of their bad contracts from Joseph, Barnes and Hield pack. 

Plus you are ignoring the fact, that Fox will most likely get an extension this season, which will effectively kill your cap space dreams for them.

I´m not even getting into an argument about whether I believe Hield is a bad contract or not, cause he was clearly defined by SleepingHero as not.

Hield is a bad contract. They are playing better with him on the bench and they are paying him near all star money. He is excellent shooter and nothing else. He is a little better than THJ and his contract is higher than THJ. If you think THJ had a bad contract, you must say the same for Hield.

So they are seemingly on an upward trajectory

Well, their management didn't seem to share your optimism.
