Iguodala was a core player in GS, still playing very well and not all that overpaid, if memory serves. They STILL had to include a very lightly protected first rounder to move him. How many of those will the Mavs have to trade next year?
Miami signed and traded Josh Richardson for Butler, a player who Philly had convinced themselves was more trouble than he was worth. Which up and coming young player do the Mavs have who will be of equal or close value to a max free agent?
I'm not arguing your GENERAL point, but it's EXTREMELY naive to think anyone would be stupid enough to take Harris without compensation. Thanks be to God our Lord, I'm pretty sure that includes Dallas Mavericks.
If you find yourself arguing in favor of a Tobias Harris trade by saying things like "they can move him later if they need to" you have officially lost perspective on the off-season.
Harris does not make them a contender. He's a nice player, but he's one of the last truly awful contracts in the NBA and a time when they're in the middle of negotiating a new CBA because of a very shaky revenue situation league wide, that's just not a move you consider. Not to mention the fact that your best players are 21 and 26. Literally, a better outcome would be Donnie's phone service getting cut off so that he can't make one, single move.
