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

[ItsGoTime]

Comparing him to post-achilles Matthews is just a completely unfair comparison. Achilles is the worst injury in basketball and Matthews was never an all-star.

I don't fully disagree, but there was an article posted here that said the injury to VO could be worse than the achilles tear (I only read the title though, not the article, so it could be bait-click titling). Also, Matthews is a pretty fresh wound to our fanbase, it's on the mend, but might be too new for some people. Not lumping myself into the group, just trying help you make sense of it.

Originally I did not think this would work salary wise, but tradenba.com says that Wright + Jackson for OPJ is legal. If that’s the case, I’m willing to put 31 in there, or at least swap second rounders with them for this draft

Wright+Jackson+18 for OPJ would definitely be a good trade imo. Mavs would get their wing and dump Wright's money. It's hard to picture what the Bulls want for OPJ but since they are rebuilding you could guess they could get a younger 3D player in the draft for #18.

There's something screwy going on with the trade machines right now cause JJ for OPJ works too, and I know there's no way that actually works salary-wise.

I bet this assumes THJ does not opt-in which could allow Mavs to stay under the cap to absorb OPJ's deal. Assuming THJ does opt-in I don't think this would be a legal trade.

Ah, there's the deal.
