Harrison Barnes was the same and they dumped his ass.

If they need his 11m in the offseason to sign someone they really like then he is gone. They know he is now 3rd in the center rotation and 5th in big men rotation

He has 2 more years on his contract after this season.

and his 2nd year is just guaranteed for 6m, so its basically trying to dump 17m in salaries.

Im certain they are going to set up potential Powell trades in the days before the FA in case they want to use more cap space. Presti (and maybe 1-2 other rebuilding teams) are going to tell the Mavs the pricetag for this.

I want to be as certain as you are.

I am wondering if the Mavs should explore a trade with OKC and Al Horford. Horford has a contract through the 2022-2023 season for around $27M per year. OKC has recently been giving significant playing time to Moses Brown, Isiah Roby, and Mike Muscala at the 5 and that might signal the future for the Thunder. OKC might be a team that would be willing to take on the smaller contract of Dwight Powell along with JJ and perhaps one of the young rookies, likely Tyrell Terry. I like this idea because Horford + KP would be a great combination that may or may not spend much time playing together, but rather would allow both to have the rest they seem to need (e.g. back-to-back games). Also, those games when KP's shot is not falling, the Mavs would have a back-up that could do some of those same things (shoot the 3; rebound; play adequate defense). Horford also gives the Mavs a big body that would come in handy against teams with more physical line-ups and a veteran presence that could help KP elevate his game. Why would OKC do this? Other than the salary dump and the potential of a young rookie like Terry, I am not sure they would. Perhaps you bring in a third team interested in THJ that could add some draft picks to OKC.

Horford fits and I'd take George Hill with him.

Hill is solid 3 point shooter and reliable defender that they could use vs these PG's that keep torching them.

I think they are overrating Richardson dude has been avg at best this year and making 1-2 good defensive plays a game is nothing compared to when your getting roasted the rest of the game.

Bottom line is Mavs can't stop anyone when it matters and usually it starts with some PG or wing player always having their way vs our defenders.
