I mean, 2nd round pick are useless. Dinwiddie is meh and overpaid. DFS borderline overpaid. I'm saying worst case scenario they gave themselves flexibility. The current roster construction was awful and gave them zero flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they'd still have to dump another bad contract to clear up a max slot in an extremely weak free agent class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm always amazed when I look at their team payroll, a bunch of terrible contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying worst case scenario they gave themselves flexibility. The current roster construction was awful and gave them zero flexibility. 2nd round picks are no longer useless. Dallas should know: they used a 2nd round pick on Jalen Brunson. Dinwiddie is having a good season. Not overpaid for what he's put on the court so far. That worst case scenario is really bad, though. Dallas has whiffed on FA after FA the last 10 years, so putting all these chips in for only 3 months of Kyrie would be a disaster. What free agent can they sign this summer that'd be worth losing 2 starters and 3 picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t move any real valuable assets. Low risk move for the Mavs IMO. The absolute worst case is you’re no longer stuck with a few awful long term deals.
