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

[omahen]

Why?

In order to get to max cap space you need to get rid of two 2021 contracts. Preferably Wright and another one. You can trade Wright for a meh expiring player in 2020. You can use pick to dump Wright for cap space in 2021 (no one will just give you cap space for a player like Wright). Or you can go for a proven player, that would make us better in 2020. Because it is important to be better in 2020, to compete as attractive destination with the likes of Miami, Toronto, perhaps hyped New Orleans and others. 

Schroeder doesn't kick Brunson out of rotation, it basically leaves him where he is - a back up PG. Schroeder would be starting next to Luka while Curry, Brunson would come of the bench.

If max free agent pipe dream doesn't work, we still have Schroeders bird rights.

I´m not  convinced Millsap will even require the full MLE.

I think both Dunn and Millsap will get a deal starting at least at 8 mil per season. The only question is the duration of the contract.
