Mavs could just hang onto WCS or they might be able to find someone as good or better for BAE (Zeller, Baynes, Dieng, Biyombo as a few potential candidates) and flip WCS for another player making up to 6 mil yr.
I don't know how much Josh Hart will make but lets say a guy like that (solid role player) has value somewhere in the BAE to MLE range. Well replacing WCS for a player of equal talent means you might be able to flip him. to Pels for a Hart S&T. Pels need defensive bigs so they might be interested in a cheap rotational big. And that's just one example where you squeeze in an additional rotational player.
I have always like Hart. Not sure if he would be my priority with what we have nor if NO wants to lose him. Winner and tough though.
Can anyone help me understand why Steven Adams has a strong following here? I am curious why he has a lot of interest/or at least some. I saw a guy who look a little labored this year. The one lasting memory of him is he was run from the court in one of the games against the Mavs because KP destroyed him. He is also a guy who matches up against some of the bigger, physical centers but doesn't really punish smaller players. He would also clog the lane and I don't believe he is a great rim runner.
Supposedly a great guy and he does bring toughness, but I am surprised to see his name pop up as a target.
