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

[DanSchwartzgan]

 
As @"DanSchwartzman" mentioned. Rubio to the Clippers makes a lot of sense. They desperately need a floor general to run the offense. Rubio is one of the best in the league and they have enough scoring to compensate for his lack of shooting/inside scoring.

There is never enough shooting in the modern NBA so Shamet is a player that every single team would like to have. He is probably one of the few remaining assets that the Clippers might be willing to give up.

Let's take 10 out of the conversation for a moment.  For Rubio to end up in LAC, they have to send out a significant contract.  Maybe we are giving up 18 to do Wright for Beverley and swapping DFS for Shamet.  10 logically goes to OKC.

So:

Paul to Suns
D. Wright/Oubre/DFS to OKC
Rubio to LAC 
Beverley/Shamet to Dallas

Not sure who deserves 18 in this deal...probably OKC gets it or we are giving up 18 to get 25 (or the Phoenix/OKC part is a 10 for 18 swap).  Two other thing of note here, this is cap neutral (very close) as it relates to 2021 room.  Second, OKC has TPE's to absorb Wright and DFS.  I wonder if there is a construct that gets some or all of the TPE to Dallas.

Beverly = Duffy
Shamet = Happy Walters (Excel)

Not really sure if the Mavs need to add value in this case. I think Beverleys contract is just as bad as Wrights. He provides more on court value but he is older and injury-prone. DFS and Shamet probably have similar value. Two bargain contracts. Two solid role players. One 3&D wing. One 3-point specialist.
If the mentioned players are included I cannot imagine that the Mavs are willing to move down in the draft.

A poster I respect on another site has Phoenix getting Shamet and Beverley for Rubio.  Dallas gives up Wright/DFS and 18 for Oubre Rental and 10.  That would be Plan HIBW's as it would get you to Giannis money while renting a useful but overpaid Oubre and moving up in the draft.
