2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[Dundalis]

Meanwhile fans on the Kings boards are spit balling a trade of Buddy for THJ+18 straight up and are doubtful the Mavs would accept that offer!

And Mavs shouldn't. Hield is only marginally better than THJ and has a horrible contract. I am not "taking" him for THJ without asset attached.

THJ just had the most efficient scoring season of his entire career (58.1 TS%) and by a decent margin. I think people need to start realizing that playing in our system under Carlisle is actually a stat inflater for a lot of role players in particular. Buddy Hield playing in this system getting the open looks he would get, likely puts his name back in the legit conversation not that long ago as to who was the best 3 point shooter in the league. In fact I think he could put up his best efficiency stats of his career, which would blow away what Hardaway does, and put a level of strain on defenses that we haven't really had before. If you look at the gap between THJ average efficiency stats pre Mavs vs post, and apply something similar to Hield, you are looking at a game changing offensive weapon. There's some risk there, but given the lack of assets we have, buy low for high risk, high reward type opportunities are the ones we need to look at.

don't touch Hield's contract
the boy can't defend
I would look at Bjelica he is 32 years old is expiring ... excellent shooter
Can you imagine what I would do with Luka
It would not be very expensive ...
Delon + # 18 for Bjelica # 35
Exits Wright's contract
Add a good player
Mavs isn't going to add 2 rookies anyway
2-round selections can sign a 2-way contract

Not really interested in trading our first for anyone other than a genuine third option. I quite like the types of players that could be available at that pick.
