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

[Mapka]

I hate to keep bringing this up, but Maxi would solve a lot of their big man issues.

I don't think Hayward is in Boston once Tatum's pay raise kicks in in 21.  They will have $104mm tied up in Walker, Smart, Brown and Tatum.  So, it would be in Boston and Hayward's best interest to do something now.  Maxi plus THJ doesn't work in 20/21, but it does in 19/20 if both Hayward and Hardaway opt in.  Does such a deal get you a pick swap of 18 for 14?

It's fair to bring it up, but this trade just helps Boston, not us.

We have to add a starter level player not lose one.

And most important this trade is still against trade rule number 1.

We didn’t lose a starter level player, we lost 2 good bench players and added a starter level one.

Last time I looked THJ and Maxi started in a playoff series and Hayward was in a suit as always.
 
Don't get me wrong, if our Docs aprove him, i'd like to add him.
But add, not swap him for THJ and lose Maxi an the way.

So you're changing from starter level to starters out of necessity, gotcha, just trying to keep up with the discussion changes.

I'm not!
Maxi is at least an top 150 player - that's starterlevel.
THJ was a top 90 player this season - that's a no. 3 or a no. 4 on a contender.
