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

[Kammrath]

My original instinct was to send Shamet to Dallas.  I think Donnie really likes him.  I don't think what you present here is crazy, but I don't think it works for Dallas if you break it down.

Would you trade 18 for Shamet straight up?  I don't think so.  He's a nice bench player and I wouldn't mind having him, but I'm not sure 18 for Shamet is fair (and I like Shamet)

So, on to Wright/DFS for Oubre.  You are basically giving up DFS (arguably the better player here) for the right to turn Wright into an expiring deal.  Feels like another loss for Dallas.  I suspect we can use 31 to move Wright if anything is needed at all.  I'd rather have DFS than Oubre and therefore wouldn't make this part of the deal unless I'm getting something greater (like a 10 for 18 pick swap). 

I could not agree with you more on all this.
