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

[Mavs2019]

Let me put a little more gasoline on the Olympic torch from Greece. 

Something I hadn´t noticed about the Bucks before. They are pretty old.

Age of the regular bubble rotation sorted by MPG:

29
32
25 (Giannis)
31 (soon)
34
34
34 (retired)
27
23
39

You can add another year to all of them before his super-max would kick in. You want to tie your future to 30 year old Middleton and 23 year old Di Vincenzo.

If you look at it that way, it makes a lot of sense that

1) Giannis wants to wait
2) the Bucks look to get younger

Let´s just say you acquire CP3 for Bledsoe/DiVincenzo and you don´t win the title (or make at least the NBA final), the Bucks have literally no argument to keep him.

I would consider that Oladipo trade, though I honestly think we'd end up being pissed we traded DFS for him. Still, there's your 2021 max slot, and you wouldn't give up a pick. Find a way to get a 3&D wing in the draft and you're off to the races.

I might also do that deal. I am down with all 3 ideas. I do think Dinwiddie and Oladipo are much more gettable than LaVine.

All this shopping for playmaking guards make me think MBT isn't sold on THJ even for one more year. I wonder if the plan is to flip THJ for something else if he isn't dealt in one of these trades.

If we offered Wright+#18+#31 for Dinwiddie, the virtual Dampier swap would suddenly be the 2nd worst Mavs deal that Nash was involved in.
