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

[Mavs2019]

Also something to consider is that Harris has been on five teams already and the current one allegedly looking to get rid, too. It seems that Harris is a nice player in theory, but once you have him, you realize he´s just good-ish. Philly has two franchise talents in Embiid/Simmons, so if Harris is that 3rd guy, why are they (again allegedly) trying to move on from him. It´s not like they have a pathway to major capspace. If Cuban just can´t keep it in his pants for another 6 months, then take a chance on an expiring like Gobert, DeRozan, Drummond, LMA, OPJ or Hayward.

Though usually with the Mavs they are not sniffing around, where all the rumours have them. The real targets are probably a bit more off the beaten path. Maybe the RFA class is where it´s really at: Markkanen, Isaac, Collins, Allen, Anunoby, Ball, Fultz, Trent Jr., Kennard, Nunn, Robinson, Kuzma, Bonga, Ferguson, Ntilikina. You can really pick and choose need from that class. It has a little bit of everything.

You just need to know which owners will be very tight. Reinsdorf is notoriously tight. Does he really want to commit $110M to Markkanen during a pandemic? The best part is that, if you acquire them now, their caphold is so low that you can still get an impact FA in 2021. Those are the guys the Mavs should be looking at.
