DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[DanSchwartzgan]

If you have Giannis money going into 2021, might you spend it on two $17mm players? 

Tier 2 guys (not looking at RFA) would be Hayward, Porter, Schroeder, Oubre, Fournier, Dinwiddie and Richardson. I guess a couple of them might be available this off season (yeah, totally with you on how much easier would be to write summer).

Plus, if this is your target list, you can

1. Spend some money in 20 and go for one of these guys in 21
2. Go for two of these guys in 21
3. Trade for one or more of these guys in 20 to maintain flexibility AND get their Bird rights.

If the choice is Max for VO or split a Max between Dinwiddie and Porter, give me the latter.

Scott, before the injury, Powell was ELITE as a vertical, rim running threat, and was probably the second most important contributor to the offensive rating we've been discussing all season.

Our offense didn´t miss a beat without Powell.  

Totally backwards way of looking at it.  Duh, our MAX Superstar got rhythm and touches.  That doesn't negate the fact that Powell's On-Minus-Off the last three seasons has been +6.7, +3.4 and +4.9.  That Sh!t doesn't grow on trees.  Neither do O-Ratings in the 130's, PER's of 20 and WS/48 of .200.  His TS% is off the charts and he scores 1.68 points for every shot he takes.  It is unbelievable the way Powell's virtues are are underrated here.

BTW, the team was 25/15 when Powell played.  That pace would have been good enough for 4th in the West.  Since we finished 7th instead of 4th, it is hard to say the team "didn't miss a beat".
