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

[Mapka]

Some random thoughts this morning...

Another non Mav observation. Still waiting for final numbers, but bumber of teams currently in tax has increased substantially from last season. Miami, Minnesota, Portland and OKC were the only tax teams last season. Minnesota and OKC are out of tax, but Lakers, Clippers, Toronto, Houston, GSW, New Jersey, Philadelphia and several others are deep in the tax atm. Who knows, if some of them will be looking to cut their salaries by TDL

With the cap lower than was expected, you’d think there would be a tipping point where it becomes difficult to get off of salary

The 2021 class looks really mediocre if Giannis stays with the Bucks. It´s basically Gobert and some guys with player options (LBJ, George, Kawhi). Some injury-prone maybe allstars like Oladipo. And guys like THJ, Richardson, Porter. Good starters but nothing more.

Been saying that for a year while listening to "2021 class is not just Giannis" and "2021 class is loaded"... If GA goes of the table, it makes so much more sense to try to make our moves before FA. Especially now that the team is set with a bunch of young players. Trade the big expiring contracts, future picks and (if needed) role players like Kleber, DFS. Keep starters (JRich, KP, Luka) and the cheap young guys. 

Of course realistically, these opportunities will not appear before TDL.

Who are you looking at?
