Trade Speculation/Ideas 2019

Well, in short, it will be tough to upgrade given we don't have next year's first and no one of real value we would send.

Matthews is once again our most likely to be traded. More so now that he is expiring and actually would help a team who could either offset the salary or absorb it, with picks to the Mavs, of course, or a young player more in line with their rebuild.

Barnes and Jordan would obviously help other teams out, but they will stay to help develop the younger players unless the FO is blown away.

Other than that, I'd say we won't see much. I think our other vets are certainly tradeable, but the value the Mavs would get back in a trade probably doesn't outweigh what they think Barea, Harris, etc. can teach Luka, DSJ, and Brunson.

This is very important for those three. They are more than likely our super long term players so veterans that knows what it takes to stay in the league set them on the right path to longevity. Plus, L/D/B already show the IQ to learn from vets.

Smart thing to do would be to wait until the TDL to see where we are and who might be available. We are currently a PO caliber team and unless something major happens like a season ending injury to a key player or we go on a huge losing streak, there is no reason to make any moves just to make moves.

Now if someone like KAT or Porzingis become seriously available then we might want to try to put something together.
