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

[Scott41theMavs]

MBT wants to show they are in "win now" mode but also want max space in 2021 for a third big fish.
With in mind that I think they do the following:

1. Upgrade Wright with a pick (likely 18) for some expiring veteran out there that is brought in as a starter. This will be Cubes "win now" move. It also will clear off Wright's money in 2021.
2. Bring back Burke + other small moves to shore up some roster holes. Mavs will use MLE money that isn't guaranteed in 2021 or adds only a small amount to '21 books.
3. Probably draft a player with #31 and use part of MLE if they find a player they like there.

I think this is EXACTLY what they’re thinking, and easily the most plausible prediction I’ve read.

Using 18 to dump Wright, and for an expiring player no less, would be the banghead to end all bangheads for me in this offseason. Well, that, or trading for Russell Westbrook.
