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

[Mavsfan12]

Would you be happy signing him for $100M?

I think I would, it is a reasonable number to mitigate between risk and gain. It would end with his age 34 season. Of course it can go wrong, but he could also have 4 great seasons for us. Or just 4 average seasons like last one. Which I am also quite fine with. As I said, I think the number is a fair compromise for both sides. 

From Mavs perspective, it would be great if we could get rid of some long(er) term salary in the SnT. Kleber and Curry would probably be interesting for them. This would mean we are one Powell and Wright trade from max space in 2021. I really have a problem putting a fair price for this SnT. Problem is we have to send salary somewhere if we want to execute the deal. 

If I have a look at recent SnT examples. Philly took Richardson for their troubles in Butler SnT. Milwaukee took 1 FRP and a couple of seconds (and no salary!) to let Brogdon go. Dallas paid two second rounders for the Wright privilege. I really don't see Boston sending us picks (or pick swaps), but perhaps Curry+Kleber would be enough with some additional salary going somewhere else. Would they pay #26 to someone to take Powell while we take their bad salary in Kanter and Poirier?

I am in pain thinking of sending out curry/klieber for the "privilege" to pay Hayward $100M.  Wow.  Then knowing that we are going to have to come up with draft capital to get someone to take wright AND Powell off our hands if GA wants to come here.  OMG. I'd rather just stick with Curry/Klieber, tbh. Hayward, for me, would be a target of opportunity.  If it makes sense, sure.  But that is a ton to give up for a guy who has had 2/3 of a good season in the last three years and then to be married to him for the next four.  I would feel like we are setting ourselves up to be Memphis in the Chandler Parsons ordeal.  Although to be fair, I don't know that Hayward actually has a specific chronic issue like Parsons' knee.  The dude is just always hurt.
