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

Oubre is probably more of a name than an actual asset.  But, in my mind he wasn’t the point of the Phoenix deal.  The point was #10.

I have huge respect for you, but I think you are just way off with this valuation. Phoenix has absolutely no need to pay someone #10 to take expiring Oubre while taking back DFS, Wright and #18. I guess they can get a better wing prospect at even lower and longer controlled salary with #10 pick, while #18 might be just far enough to miss all top wings of this draft (Okoro, Vassell, Williams, Bey, Nesmith). I just don't see the value here for Phoenix, unless we start adding #31 and/or Brunson. It is cheaper for them to ship Oubre to "Charlotte" with second rounder attached.

Much more realistic for #10 would be to eat Rubio salary for DFS, Wright, Jackson and #18. 

I guess we will see in a week.
