2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[StepBackJay]

Looking at this 2020 free agent class, it's very weak. I'm not even sure who the Mavs would want to go after. 

Now, there are some guys I do like (Jerami Grant) but would the Mavs like him enough to unseat Kleber/DFS in the rotation? Probably not. I feel like this will be a classic offseason of "We love our team"

I´d take Anthony Davis.

I don´t think the class is that weak. Players could opt out of the final year of their contracts, if they come to an agreement for a long-term deal. Next year the market will be loaded. It might be beneficial to secure a deal now. For example OPJ 88/4 instead of 28 + X/3. Can he be sure that teams will give him 20 per season given the competition next summer.

We just don´t have the capspace for a major move. Next year it´s just Wright+Powell. This summer it´s also THJ, Jackson, Boban. We´d have to bleed hard to create max capspace this summer. Only AD would be worth the trouble imho.

Mavs could probably dump salary if they wanted to but would need to happen on draft night. I don't think there's a FA that they want bad enough to do that. It's more likely they would flip like Wright and Jackson + picks for something they like better than doesn't inhibit their ability to sign a FA in 2021.
