If Mavs offered the 27 first, maybe there is a chance. But I think right now most teams are satisfied or sort of satisfied with their roster. You may have more value with the 27 first when reality hits some of these teams during the season.
I can't imagine anyone would want two more years and 12 million of Javele.
Maybe Hardaway is moved. But I could see that for a similar level player with a similar contract who maybe plays a position of need. Finding this player is a little tricky though. Especially considering how THJ could become a more positive asset this trade deadline or next.
Same for the second round picks. We saw a lot of deals happen at the trade deadline with second round picks. Dallas has at least a few now to include moving forward.
Finally, Dallas lacks semi or true expiring now, so this potentially makes a deal more challenging as well.
I think they’ll unload McGee somehow. I really, really do. Right now, I still think they’re out there trying to attach him to Hardaway and get something back that they like, but as you say, that’s looking less likely every day. When the dust clears though, I really feel like the fallback will be “here’s a 2nd or two, somebody take McGee” and not “ok, we’ll carry him one more year.”
Never in my history of following this team have they put out there multiple times in one summer, through multiple media folks: “_____ will definitely not be on the team at summer’s end.” This is a first. I think I believe that stuff.
