Rock and a Hard Place

[Mavs2021]

I think the risk with Reddish is his QO, which is 8 mil. If Reddish wouldn't be good for Mavs, the most likely option is he walks in the summer, imho.

If you make trades for Reddish, McDaniels or Hachimura, you already have a contract extension agreement in place. It makes no sense to do such a trade as another tryout. That´s just wasting more assets. You trust your talent evaluation on the spot, agree on the contract and work from there. Also decreases the tension on both sides as the Mavs try to integrate the player as best as possible into the (play-off) rotation, while the player is (otherwise) desperate for minutes to showcase himself for the summer.

And I think that is actually do-able.

THJ to Cleveland
Levert + Powell to Charlotte
Hayward + McDaniels to Dallas

Bullock + 2nd round pick to Washington
Hachimura to Dallas

Fournier + McGee + Ntilikina + 6M in cash (from Dallas) + 1st round pick (from New York) two 2nd round picks (from NY + Dallas) to Orlando
Bamba + Reddish to Dallas
Harris + Ross to New York

Doncic/Dinwiddie/Hardy
Green/Hayward/Lawson
DFS/McDaniels/Reddish
Hachimura/Kleber/Bertans
Wood/Bamba/X

But all that would require Cuban to change course, strategically and financially, but I just can´t help myself. LOL.
