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

[Mavsfan12]

So.... everyone's out on Aaron Gordon? At one point, he was one of my favorite Mav targets.

It really depends on the price for me. But I'm very very interested in him still. If you aren't going to trade for or sign Griffin next summer, AG is my #1 PF target. Move DFS back to SF. I'm also not opposed to keeping him at the 4 and getting a legit 3.

I wonder if their is a deal where Mavs can trade for AG and 15 with 18 going to Orlando. Obviously including something else but wonder if that could happen in a deal.

Would you do Kleber, Wright, 18 and 31 for Gordon, 15 and 45?  Mavs would actually save money in 21/22.

I would, if we have no shot at Jrue.

Not sure why AG has a following.  It could easily be argued that Powell is a better player for this team.  Not sure what Gordon has done to inspire desires to acquire him.  He is pretty inefficient, not a particularly good defender, doesn't spread the floor well, and is a poor rebounder.  There aren't a lot of redeeming qualities there. 

I do think he would be better here than he is for Orl, given a much better fit.  Having to share the floor with Vuc is really a problem for him.  That said, I would prefer Maxi at his 8M over AG at 19M.  He is signed through 22, so he doesn't help with capspace.  The proposed trade sends out Wright, but I don't see how this makes the mavs better and you end up with Powell/AG duplication.  I could talk myself into not hating it if it were Powell instead of Maxi heading out and it was cap neutral.
