It appears Burke and Brunson do better not playing together so I bet their minutes get staggered. Honestly I think this roster is fine as is for right now. Mavs have assets they can move for the right deal but they don't have to do anything.
We are about to add a 20 ppg guy to the lineup, so check that box. I'm as prolific a fantasy trader as the next guy and certainly acknowledge that trading before the TDL is likely to be more productive than waiting until the summer. But, I'm struggling to find deals that make much sense (other than Powell/Johnson for your all-star type pipe dreams). With the play-in games and changed lottery odds, it is going to be harder to find lopsided deals where bad teams give away good players. With a thinned out FA class in 2021, it will be hard to find cap clearing financial deals. I'm beginning to think it is much greater than 50/50 that we stand pat.
