Now what?

I just feel like Schroder cements us as a contender. And it's just for the fact that he can rest Luka and Dinwiddie. It's a total no-brainer signing and perfect fit.

I'm guessing the Lakers are also interested and teams are waiting to see what happens with Utah's leftovers.

The hesitation in signing Schroder leads me to believe they are aggressively trying to find a ball handler via trade and they want to keep an open roster spot in case they have to take back an extra player. Being in luxury tax land means they would have to cut a player under contract and eat a lot of money.


Cant imagine who they are trying to target, but they must feel they can do better than any of those 3 in a trade.

I want the best ball handler that can lower Luka's usage rate.

As much as I'd like to see DSJ reunite with Luka, that wont translate on the court as DSJ running an offense by himself.

Dennis or Bledsoe please.

I am wondering if there are teams out there who can offer more than the Mavs. For example, the MLE, or some part of the MLE. Mavs can only offer the vet minimum. These hypothetical teams are still engaged in trade negotiations and Schroder/Bledsoe are willing to wait until the full picture emerges. Bottom line is that it might not be the MBT sitting on their hands.

Yeah Mavs are absolutely not in the driver's seat. Do we even have the BAE? As far as I know, we're offering the minimum or a sign-and-trade and SnTs require us to give up assets.

If thats what the Mavs are having to do, then I guess its welcome back DSJ.

The other two will prob get a little more than vet min

Do the Lakers have a need with Beverley now there?
