This time Hollinger with Cato.  What should the Mav's do?


Holiday and Leonard = Pipe dreams.  Don't build a summer strategy around pipe dreams

Lowry one year at Big $?  Too ST.  Doesn't help longer term

Lonzo and Collins...might be able to get if Dallas is willing to overpay this summer

Dipo and Fournier...Is this much better than just bringing back THJ and Richardson?

Proposes a Powell/Johnson/Iwundu/2nd deal for Dipo/House and expiring McLemore.  Even if you don't keep Dipo this summer, you've cleared Powell and have House as a bench wing for a year.

Hollinger: I think Dallas will be active at the low end, whether it’s trading second-rounders or working the buyout market to get a crack at the Wayne Ellingtons and Garrett Temples of the world. Another name I’d keep my eye on, albeit at a higher cost, is San Antonio’s Patty Mills.

Hollinger: If one presumes the Mavs had the best offer on the table when the trade with the Knicks happened, then I’m not sure what’s happened since then that would alter Porzingis’ trade value for the better. Yes, he’s back on the court and playing, but the injury questions aren’t going away unless we see him sustain this through the second half of the season and playoffs, and he’s now on a max contract. So somebody else is going to offer more than that today? I think that’s pretty unlikely.

Now if Porzingis is the entry point to getting a top-15 player, that’s a different story. But until or unless Bradley Beal lands on the trade market, I don’t see that happening. So Porzingis deals don’t seem to make any sense.

I like the Lowry idea for the short term.
