2019-2020 Mavs Trade Discussion + Salary Chart

[DanSchwartzgan]

To me we are not in a position to get new players this season:

 
Our next big move should be on 2021, when the THJ + Lee money could land us our final piece of the puzzle. We already have locked a great young core: Luka/KP/Powell/Kleber/Wright/Curry/DFS/Brunson

Waiting for 2021 doesn't prevent us from taking on money for the rest of this year and next.  Our next big move should occur whenever a good opportunity presents itself.

Something that has been missing from this conversation is the possibility BRI will go down next year (China).  The league hasn't provided guidance yet.  If the Cap and LT numbers shrink (even a little) instead of going up, it changes everyone's plans.  Things that don't seem likely or seem too expensive today might be more possible or less expensive if the numbers change.  The Mav's having Lee's expiring (and a TPE) this summer and THJ's expiring next summer might put them in a stronger position that we anticipate if BRI were to decline.
