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

[loki]

Dallas is definitely giving up pick(s), since they're getting off of the Wright money, but they might be BS 2nd rounders.

I am in literal disbelief that people aren't happy right now. 

Like, shocked.

I dont think people are unhappy.  

It's just delayed gratification.  Now they have a bunch of large expirings for a potential later trade.  Or they have a max cap space next summer.  But now we dont really expect them to do much else this offseason if they're so hell bent on max cap space next summer.

So it is the same story we hear every single year. Next year we will make the big signing/add talent. This year we are trying to clear capspace. Maybe I am the only one that has plan powder PTSD but after watching them fail again and again for more than 10 years I really don´t get why people are still supporting this approach.

There were some decent options this year, but all of them had major drawbacks. I can understand why they didn't want to pull the trigger on a huge deal for Gallo or Hayward for example. I would be more disappointed if the Richardson trade hadn't happened. But as it stands, they managed to improve the team anyway.

Given that, I think it's sensible to stay flexible for next offseason. There will be no more powder after Luka's max extension in 2022, so 2021 is when they can fire away with a big offer to someone without worrying.
