We’re months away from FA but that’s a pretty unexciting list of players and still a long one of teams with caproom. 

I think we’ll see the same thing that we see every summer, the Mavs either take a risk and overpay somebody or they start thinking about fringe starters on decent contracts.

Re Collins: the guy pretty much publicly begged to stay in ATL and the Hawks are making the playoffs. There’s no way they let him walk in RFA.

Unfortunately we’ve also just done the thing we usually do in trades: ship out picks. 

I don’t see what ATL would want from us in a SnT. 

We’ve backed ourselves into a corner these last few years. It’s certainly not getting any easier to get improvements here next summer than it was today. No additional picks, we’ll probably have to choose between Thjr/Jrich and/or a FA.

Also realistically speaking: our rooks will have even less value in trades than they do right now. The Mavs have been extremely vocal about their stance on playing Bey/Green/Terry being equal to not attempting to win games. Racking up DNPs for months won’t improve their value though.

Can’t say I’m surprised about anything anymore. We’ve seen their patterns again and again over the years, nothing will change.

This are all valid points, but...

 - FA was done the moment GA signed the new contract. The two players I like best in the FA:
 THjr & Josh Richardson lol .. (not talking RFAs/Kawhi).
 
- Don´t care about the "value" of our Rookies, as I would love to keep all of them.

There will be one option to "improve" and that´s called full midlevel exception.

let´s go for the buyouts now
