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

[Mapka]

What might the impact of a hurried off-season be?  Fewer bids for RFA's?  Free Agency will be over during the two days money is tied up.  How about unrestricted free agency

I find it unlikely, that players will be signing below the market contracts. There is always an option to resign with your current team. Look at Gallo for example. Let's say tanking teams are not looking to sign him for big money. But I am quite sure he can resign with OKC in the 12-14 per range. This can be SnT or a later trade. OKC would look at such a contract as an asset. Perhaps Gallo is a bad example, I just can't see him sign for MLE. If he will, I just can't see him sign with such discount outside of a clearcut contender.

I think guys like Gasol, Whiteside, Teague, Favors, Bazemore, Thompson, Harkless and Milsap won't see more than MLE this offseason.

Good players like Davis, Ingram, Ibaka, Dragic, Morris, Clarkson, Grant, FVV, Harris, Bertans, Harrell, Beasley and Bogdanovic will get higher than MLE offers from their current teams.

I wonder what sign and trade iterations there are that might be appealing to SAC in order to get Bogdan around $15M. Certainly SAC would be interested in turning Bogdan into something positive for them....

I think Sacramento will have to decide between Bogdan and Hield first. If you are trading Hield, paying 15 per for Bogi is not terrible for them. If they are keeping Hield, I would SnT Bogi for best offer.

I would say Wright+Jackson+#18 is a fair offer from Dallas perspective, but I doubt it is from Sacramento one. I see the following problems though:
1. Is Bogi really good enough to be our long term solution at SG? I would prefer a better defender. I am also not trading THJ for Bogi.
2. Sacramento already has an overpaid back up PG in Joseph, who is similar bad fit for us as Wright.
3. Sacramento needs are at SG and SF positions. SF is a no go for us, we are not trading DFS. 

This means we can either use Wright and motivate them with picks to take him. Alternatively we could use Curry (he would be useful for them), salary filler and a minor pick. Bogi would eat into Curry minutes anyway. 

What would be best would be to use Curry+Wright+pick. This move would make our cap hit neutral, so we are still just one Powell move from max cap space in 2021. We need to include pick because of the Wright contract. Perhaps 31 would be enough.

This trades kinda work valuewise for me. But we are giving up assets to upgrade our SG backup. 
Bogi can't play SF. Luka, THJ, Bogi is even more aweful defensivly than Curry, THJ, Luka. THJ as benchpiece didn't work. 
We have specific needs - Bogi doesn"t help them, isn't enough of a differencemaker to be worth the effort and not enough of an asset.

RFAs tend to be overpaid if they change teams. Assetwise or salarywise.
