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

[StepBackJay]

If the question is "which guy would you rather pay $16 million" I'd go with Grant. I definitely don't like Harrell for that money.

Pretty sure all front offices feel that way.

Maybe some dumbass player analysts like Paul Pierce or Shaq would take the bigger name guy.  Harrell got exposed hard.  Can't play defense and can't shoot.  So basically the opposite of what every team wants next to their star players.  Grant meanwhile fits that mold to a tee.

I would not worry ab the Mavs pursuing Harrell. I can't imagine they would seriously pursue him. Some team will give him a pretty hefty contract that the Mavs wouldn't be able to match and wouldn't want to even if they could. He is way too redundant with Powell.

I like Grant a lot, I just don't see a path for him or any other guy who is going to get starter money (ie 15 mil+). Mavs aren't likely doing any large multi-year deals this offseason.
