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

[cjeter24]

I would happily exhaust all our trade assets for a player like Jrue.

I think the KP trade was an aberration.  Seems like it has raised everyone's expectations.  We dont have a lot of trade assets.  People keep saying I'm only trading #18 in a trade for a star.  I see Lavine trades with a big bag of nothing going back to Chicago.  I guess it's possible we take advantage of another terrible front office.

For me... It's that you have a long list of free agents next year to go and get to be your 3rd piece. We aren't talking max guys. Next year is just a great free agent year. Jrue is one of those. 

I don't want to exhaust all of our assets on a guy like Jrue and have him walk. Ideally if you want one of those guys you keep your assets and then sign that guy with 0 loss to your assets. 

I'm not plan powder because I'll gladly exhaust every penny of it for someone long term under contract that I really like. But I'm team patience while being smart with your assets. 

Trading all of our assets for anyone expiring gives me huge pause. It's not just Jrue.
