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

[SleepingHero]

If this doesn't work out, which is pretty likely (Oladipo doesn't get back his athleticism or All Star form and/or leaves) this team will be totally bereft of tradeable assets and will be solely reliant on FA for any decent additions. We know how that typically works out.

Well it all depends on what the Mavs give up in a potential trade. I expect Dipo to cost 2 of THJ, Maxi*, Wright, Curry*, Brunson, and Jackson (*denotes the more valuable tier that I think won't be packaged with another * player). 

If the Mav say give up Maxi+Wright, like Dan threw out a bit earlier + our 2 picks this year, are the Mavs that bereft of tradeable assets? THJ is an expiring. Curry is as valuable as ever. Brunson is valuable. Jackson is deadweight. Mavs have picks from 2025 out if needed. 

AND the main advantage to Dipo is that by the time you learn if it works out or not, you're already in next year's free agency where the Mavs can gather more tradeable assets. If it does work, Mavs traded for a borderline all-star SG that can handle the ball, hit his threes, and guard the other teams best perimeter player. Which is someone that you do want to give up assets for!
