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

[cjeter24]

I don't think they move THJ, I really don't.

I think they believe that shooting is the most important thing, and now that Curry is gone, I have a hard time seeing THJ as a tool to create more (short term) change to the roster. 

You can argue that Hield gives you the same thing, only better, but A) I don't think this is the year for too much roster turnover and B) I think THJ might get you more in trade at the deadline if you really want to move him.

I think the Gallo thing went away when OKC traded for 17 instead of 18, and I'm GLAD. Would love to have the player, but not at the expense of how we're all feeling right now, getting this youthful shot in the arm. 

I do now fully expect the universe to offer them up something great for the MLE, and then I think they're done. 

Just my prediction.

THJ staying makes a ton of sense regardless of what we do in FA as a 6th man. That's the role he should be. Try him there again and if he stinks move him back to the starting lineup and trade him at the deadline. He's not a long term starter here so no reason to be married to him in that role if you can improve him. 

I'd have to think that regardless of Bogdan, the Mavs are going to be dangling Brunson, Wright and Jackson as a SNT package to someone. If anything has been made clear the last few days if a team likes the deal, they aren't really balking at extra year of salary coming back at them.
