I agree, but they will.
And even if they don’t, while I will be disappointed, I will still be more excited about the cap space than I would’ve been watching Wright on this team all year. I realize there are some people who have convinced themselves that the Mavs will never, ever use cap space to a positive effect, but I am not among them. After watching Richardson this season, I am cracking the door of expectations open a bit to include free agency again. I won’t be devastated if they choose to let he and Johnson expire. Even THJ, if they have a good plan for the space. The only reason I prefer a trade is that I can’t currently see what free agency plan might exist, but that obviously mean there’s not a good path out there.
The Mavs make mistakes, just like every team, but most of them can be solved. The only major obstacle right now is Porzingis, and even that can be fixed.
