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

[jesusshuttlesworth82]

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. 

He looked terrible until he got to play next to Luka.  Him being the 6th man is the last thing I want.  Freedom to chuck terrible shots.  That first year after he came over from the Knicks he shot 32% from three and looked as awful as we all expected.  Carlisle had a genius stroke moving him into the starting lineup.
