Maybe if Dallas already had an established roster and were ready to contend. But they aren't even close. I would be pissed if they had to give up anything of value for Jordan. Who already fucked them last time. And he's now 3 years older.

Vic, I get that you're a tortured Dallas sports fan, but the idea has little downside. Once DAJ opts-in, the Clips don't want to pay him 24 million for next season. Maybe no other teams wants to pay him 24 million for next season. So the Mavs would attempt to trade for a vet, on a one year deal, and the only loss would be to Mark Cuban's pocketbook. The Mavs aren't tanking. If it doesn't cost anything other than Wes Matthews, then why not get the best veteran center you can? I agree that if it cost more than that, just move on to other options whose ages align better with the young guys, but those will eat up more of your cap space.

June 29, 20187 yr This is getting out of hand...NBA is turning into College Basketball with all these 1 year deals/rentals.
June 29, 20187 yr Author Lebron opting out.... Doesn't really change much. He can still do a S&T but there are some cap implications that come with it. The major players are still in it.

June 29, 20187 yr Numbers are definitely off... Tax level is $123MM this year 2018-2018... not sure what the Apron is... it was $125MM last year.

One more detail to that is that the neither team can be over the apron at the conclusion of the trade. So it's not just where they are when the trade is made, they may need to bring in another team to take on more salary to stay under the apron in the same transaction.
June 29, 20187 yr The apron is now $6m more than the Luxury tax line. Used to be 4, up until last year.

With that roster does it really matter who is on the sidelines? He’s getting a massive paycheck even if his back flares up he can miss half the season and still coach and get paid and watch his team stroll to 60 wins and probably multiple titles unless a super team beats them or they have major injuries one season.
June 30, 20187 yr Obviously the Lonzo knee news hurts his trade value, but who leaked it? Lonzo so he could stay in LA like he wants, or Pop to hurt Lakers trade offers?

Phoenix traded away their 2021 first so not sure they'd trade another one away (not that this Spurs fan would mind). I'd say the Suns may want the Lakers to at least take back Tyson Chandler and/or Jared Dudley. Lonzo and Deng are over 25 million this season and almost 27 next. EDIT: And FWIW, they seem to be high on the Frenchie PG they just drafted but hard to rely on a rookie taken at the bottom of the first. I think they may be looking for a vet PG who could transition to bench if need be. George Hill!!!! I'm sure you'd like that. Edited June 30, 20187 yr by Patrick Bateman

June 30, 20187 yr Lebron's Lakers would be less talented than the Cavs and be in the same conference with HOU and GS. Nice.
