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

[DanSchwartzgan]

As it relates to Fournier, I can see the interest.  He brings more play-making and off-ball movement than THJ which would add some diversity to the O.  He's top 10 in total possessions for play types in hand-offs and off screens.  So, he's good at a couple of things that we need that THJ isn't good at.  At the same time, he's not too much of a drop-off from THJ on the things THJ is good at.  

FWIW, Partow's top 125 has Fournier at 102 while both Curry and THJ are in the 120's.  PIPM and Raptor like THJ better (last year, a career year for THJ).  Box +/- favors Fournier.  I think a THJ deal is roughly equivalent from a talent standpoint, but gives us a little more playmaking from the SG position.  The upgrade is more clear with Curry (you'd have to add some salary).

Hollinger projected Wood's salary at $15.8mm and said Charlotte may make a bid using cap room.  So, it is hard to see Dallas getting him for the MLE.  The route to go over the MLE probably includes shipping out Maxi.  Wood is a clear talent upgrade which will hopefully satisfy the "Never Maxi-ers".  Getting Maxi is certainly better than losing Wood to Charlotte for nothing.  Again, more salary would need to be added.  Detroit makes some sense for a Wright destination.

So, Curry/Jackson for Fournier and Maxi/Wright for Wood?  DFS to the bench.
