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

[DanSchwartzgan]

Does anyone here have access to this and the willingness to summarize? Is there really a quote that claims they're willing to trade into the lottery?

It is really short. Just source that says the Mavs are willing to trade up in this draft into the lottery, but the source did not clarify how FAR up in the lottery. To just 14? to 10? to 7? Source did not say.

In addition to the line about the lottery (we realize that is only 4 spots up from where we are).  He basically says we are all in on improving this season (even at the cost of cap room in 2021).  We want a third star.  Everyone not named KP or Luka is on the table.  We are willing to eat some salary to make things happen.

We are in "Urgency Mode" with a desire to strike now with as much force and expense as necessary and Donnie is letting everyone know.  Not much on names, though they do bring up Gallinari (and say we tried for Tobias Harris last summer when Kemba failed).
