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

[khaled1987]

Just sit back, close your eyes and imagine FUTURE MAV GREAT RICKY RUBIO.

At this point I just want Rubio to retire so you can move on.

What is interesting about the Green deal (if you don't want him, you hope they execute it at a minute after noon tomorrow), is it backs up the idea that OKC doesn't want multi-year players and therefore doesn't want Rubio.  So, for a Paul deal to work, Rubio has to go somewhere.

Schroeder is expiring deal, it makes sense they don't want a longer contract with inferior player to just get the 28th pick.
CP3 OTOH is longer and bigger contract, he is 2nd highest paid player in the NBA who is 35 , to trade him you will always have to absorb something you don't want. 
OKC already done such thing when they got him for Russ
