Luol Deng?

[sefant77]

Deng is by far the best SF FA next summer (Anthony aside) and honestly is the perfect fit for this Mavs team, specially with Calderon/Ellis/Dirk. A better fit than Anthony.

I doubt we could pull off a trade with Marion because the pick protection of our 2014 pick bites us in the ass. So we should hope he stays and then we have to overpay. Thats the only way he doesnt stay in Chicago. Bulls could amnesty Boozer but still have 42m locked up in Rose/Noah/Gibson. Add 15-16m for Deng and Butlers contract coming up in 2015 and they would be really close to the LT mark just with their S5.

I have no problem to give Deng the 4y 60-65m...we are committed with Calderon/Ellis and we need a Marion replacement and he is the perfect fit. There wont be superstar FA. So take him and try to sign with the rest of the money a nice center like Gortat and enjoy the last years with Dirk before we tear everything down.
