Bring back Black Falcon Trade Idea:

KP and JRich for Buddy Hield and Harrison Barnes.

Harry Barnes has really improved his game in SAC. His numbers were great last year. I know people on this board hate Barnes but he's a good player. Hield and Barnes are both very good players and high floor players in the sense that you know what you are getting. 

Barnes contract is actually really good per his production now and easily movable. Hield's contract is not terrible. Since the salaries decrease year over year it will actually be a pretty good 2 year deal one year from now.

JRich is a zero and KP is a complete wildcard so I would do that type of deal in a heartbeat. THJ and Hield are redundant, I would much rather spend that money on Holmes or someone like that. Knowing the Mavs they would still resign THJ and use the MLE on a big or trade for one.

If you did do this your lineup could be something like:

Luka/Brunson
Hield/THJ
DFS/Green
Barnes/Maxi
MLE big?/Powell

MLE options: Theis, Ibakam, Baynes (we don't talk ab Baynes much but I think Raps won't pick up his TO).

Also oft-discussed would be a trade for Adams for pieces like Maxi/WCS/Burke.
