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

[KillerLeft]

The Mavs could easily trade Maxi or Seth and 8.5 mil a piece. 

So this is what I'm talking about above. I have a hard time believing either one of those players would be here after a real life LaVine to the Mavericks trade. I haven't done the cap math, but I can tell you this:

There's no version of the deal (that Chicago agrees to) that includes Powell. 

There's no version that doesn't include BOTH #18 and #31, along with at least two and up to ALL of  DFS, Kleber, Curry and Brunson. And, have we considered that doing this might require salary coming back other than LaVine? I realize that some concessions would have to be made to make the trade legal, but I think the resulting team is full of salary that would be less easy to move than we might think. 

I really, really think we've got to view this from the perspective of "would I be happy if this was THE move?" I would be, but there are risks.
