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

[Mavs2019]

Wasn't the inital Gallo rumor predraft or during the draft. OKC wanted Poku, and the rumor was 18th for a Gallo S & T. That fell apart for whatever reasons. OKC traded for 17th. Mavs drafted Green.

Was it ever confirmed the Mavs tried to trade for Gallo again after the draft tho?

Let´s put it this way: I doubt Gallo´s salary demand changed much from the draft till yesterday. $20M was always his number.

Based on our calculation the maximum they can pay a long-term upgrade without making the Giannis chase a lot more complicated is ~$15M.

Unless I´m completely off with all these crazy trades, we have

Knicks 40
Hornets 20
Hawks 20

Everybody else MLE or less.

Not that many options for the remaining UFA and especially the RFAs to apply any sort of pressure via offer sheets.
