I doubt he will be an expiring. That PO is probably what will hurt any trade value for us this season. If his play continues this way the rest of the season he'll most likely opt in.

Yep. The best thing will be for him to come around in January once his restrictions are off. If he doesn't get better by the trade deadline, then you can see what his value is.

Isn't his contract pretty tough to move though?

I think it would be if he doesn't produce by TDL. He won't opt out if he isn't worth what he is making. Would probably be best for him to opt in and then get paid big the next season if he produces next. If he opts out he might have a difficult time getting what he is currently making even with the cap increase.

So yeah, I think there will be a very good chance he is here next season. We're kind of married to him because we'll probably need him (or at least his potential) as much as he needs us (a big salary with an opportunity to be a key contributor).

"It created the most amount of problems for them," Cuban said. "The trade kicker not only made [the contract] more expensive, but the opt out [after Year 2] could create a Kevin Love-type situation for any teams interested in trading for him, where you don't know if he's gonna opt in or opt out.

If he had such a low value in a possible trade in year 2 before the injury in Houston's eyes thus resulting in Morey making the quote of "one of the most untradeable contracts I've ever seen" then now his value is if anything negative. A team would be paying his salary plus a 15% kicker and have a risk of him not even opting in if it was somewhere he did not want to be. IMO Mavs are better served to let this season play out and hoping that with time he gets his legs. Because nobody is giving us anything for him this season, it would be my trash for yours at best which would be difficult matching salaries of trash for trash or much more likely... we'd be giving up assets to move him. I'm going to just continue to hope that by the end of January he's showing improvement. He's not the only one out there passing gas as perfume he's just the most frustrating because he was marketed as the next guy when he should have been just "part of a new core" or something.

Rumor that bulls are looking to move Noah and Taj for a wing player. Not sure that moves the meter enough. What do you guys think?

I really like both of those guys and have a lot of faith that the Mavs' training staff would be able to extract every remaining bit of health out of Noah... if they can get Noah back to where he's deserving of being a 30+ MPG player, that kind of acquisition would be a no-brainer... and as much as I really want to see Powell getting 25 MPG as the primary backup big, you can't deny that Taj Gibson is a pretty serious upgrade. The only problem is, I don't really know what you give Chicago as a trade package for either or both of those guys that couldn't be trumped by about 20 other teams. I would also tend to think that if the Bulls are trading one or both of those guys, they're probably looking for younger guys in return that can be part of the team's future built around Jimmy Butler and possibly Bobby Portis.

Parsons works straight-up for Noah, but I don't know that the Bulls would want to roll the dice on him either not getting all the way back to 100% or that he wouldn't leave this summer if they don't look like contenders. It would seem like one of Barea/Harris would be an appealing piece for the Bulls as well, with the franchise's inability to sign a reliable backup point guard as insurance against a Rose injury. Parsons/Barea for Noah/Gibson also works if we're thinking along those lines...

Don't forget that Noah is also expiring and it's unclear whether he wants to re-sign with Bulls or not.

Ariza is one of the most overrated role player in NBA history...

It's not about his shooting that is needed. Unlike Parsons he actually brings defense.
