2020-2021 ROSTER TALK: Archived

I think Dallas needs to land 4 rotation players this offseason to have a real shot at winning a playoff series. Not going to be easy at all. The key may be in finding a way to turn any signings into sign and trades in order to operate over the cap. 

Luka / Brunson

DFS

Porzingis / ??

I still believe Mike Conley is the most sensible target due to fit and their desire to land a big name. Richardson + Burke + Terry + Green would work in a SnT for Conley at $50m/2. The Mavs should be looking for takers for Richardson and Burke as one or both would probably need to go to a third team.

Then you've theoretically got about $13m left in cap space. Enough to offer a deal to someone like Theis and turn it into a SnT for WCS at $7m per.

Next re-sign THJ, spend the MLE on Batum, and fill out the roster with minimum contracts.

Luka / Brunson
Conley / THJ
DFS
Batum / Kleber
Porzingis / Theis
