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

[loki]

Listening to a podcast right now that’s reporting that Dallas had a deal in place last season for Gallo. They’re speculating that the offer was probably Kleber+Wright with either #18 or #31. Apparently, Gallo would agree to extend at the number they were offering so the Mavs backed out of the deal. This was right around the time Powell went down, so it seems like they did the WCS trade instead.

Wonder what the extension numbers were.  I like Gallo but I'm not sure he is exactly what the team needs.  Also, I don't think they could have traded #18.

I would guess they tried to lowball him to maintain some flexibility. Hard to imagine going all-in on a guy who is such a poor fit defensively.

18 couldn't be traded, but knowing Presti he asked for a pick swap + 31.
