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

Gallinari for MLE - Yes

Drummond - Bold plan that just might work, said a Knick fan somewhere.  Actually, its not a bad plan.  I just hope we get someone(s) worth that cap space money if Giannis fall through.  Odds are certainly against him coming here.

I think the thing that is easy to miss here is Gallinari is a TON better than Maxi.  Maybe it isn’t Dano.  Maybe it is another over MLE player who wants to play for a contender.  But, if you can make Powell and Wright go away, you can use the MLE to replace Maxi on a multi-year basis and still have room for Giannis.  

I like Maxi too, but he isn’t irreplaceable and if Drummond eliminates Powell Wright and the cost is 31 and swapping Maxi for a MLE plus level talent...sign me up.

I don't see why the Cavs do that deal.
