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

[Branduil]

One thing about accumulating assets is that it can actually give you more flexibility than just having cap space. For instance, let's say the Mavs acquire Oladipo for next season, and then in the next offseason Giannis wants to come here. If we're only using cap space, Oladipo would obviously have to go in that scenario(or all of our role players), BUT if we have a number of assets and bird rights for desirable players(e.g. THJ), the Mavs would also have the option of doing a sign-and-trade and going over the cap while keeping Oladipo. Assets are always better than cap space as long as they're paid reasonable money.
