2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

At this point, I'd say that the "better version of Burke" is just Burke. But we're going to have to clear cap space to afford him.

Cute.  No cap room needed.  We have the BAE this year.  If it takes more than that, we just have to be willing to split the MLE (assuming he makes more than Vet. Min.).

I realize people want to get rid of their favorite whipping boys (typically Wright and Powell) and imagine the combination of pick and slug will somehow bring us a starter.  But, let's be real.

Arguing the other end, I think there's a nonzero chance that a pick is included in a deal as the tip to unload Wright's salary. He's definitely trending in the wrong direction, and Dallas may start planning ahead for '21.

I think that is legitimate.  You'd have to tell me what we do with THJ and the MLE this summer before I know if we will care about paying to offload Wright to generate 2021 space.  I could also see him traded for a more expensive player (I've suggested Thaddeus for instance).
