[Cato] No. 10 pick is almost certainly going to be dealt — quite possibly with Bertāns’ contract attached to it — while the team prefers keeping Green and Hardy

The article also says, “And they might feel limited in adding players who make $20 million or more.”
Edit: Tim Cat is now retracting himself: [I just meant whatever trade they make for 10, bertans is a likely inclusion for the reasons I laid out. I did not mean to imply i have info they would consider straight up trading 10 just to get off bertans’ salary, as i do not.](https://twitter.com/tim_cato/status/1666141177244942343?t=NYyeZL9VnXTR5ahaAtV7oA&s=19)

Hardy is like a free agent for us , and people forget we have Frank

Capela, Anunoby, Allen, Turner, or Valanciunas are the only names I could come up with as potential targets making 20 mil or less

Not really breaking news here. Mavs would prefer to deal the no. 10 to acquire someone more win now (duh), would prefer to attach Bertans contract so that we can get someone actually good aka a big salary.
Mavs would prefer to keep their only assets in Green and Hardy.

Assuming they throw in 2027 FRP, who can we get that makes less than $20 mil.

Why can’t we just keep drafting young guys like Hardy so we have more young guys to root for and develop? We’re in this current situation because we keep trading our picks to bank on short-term perceived timeframes when we should really be trying to set ourselves up for long-term success, especially with the current CBA which favors teams that draft well.
Trying to swing for all these homerun deals/signings is just gonna be a self-fulfilling process of making Luka leave, which everyone seems to be worried about on this sub.

If we attach the 10th pick with Bertans we better be bringing back a productive solid starter. Ideally a 3/4/or 5 but really probably a 4/5.

Yes, absolutely, let’s trade the #10 pick to dump Bertans salary. Worst run team in the league. Hands down. It’s depressing.

Horrible move IMHO. We’ll see what happens.

This just sounds like a trade with the jazz with extra steps it just feels too perfect

Good.

I don’t want cappela, Myles turner would be good
KillaMavs
Sigh, fuck this team’s management. It’s like the Clippers in the 90s

I would really like to trade down so we still have a pick this year. Having contributors on rookie contracts is extremely important

I would definitely draft if Whitmore, Walter, or Hendricks are available. Otherwise, use the pick to get somebody who can help. But wouldn’t attaching Bertans devalue what we can get with the pick?

One trade that makes sense is THJ, Javale McGee and #10 pick to Hawks for Clint Capela and AJ Griffin
Losalou52
Nurkic and Nas Little, #23, #43 for Bertans, McGee, and #10 and a future top 20 protected FRP.

Nobody prefers Bertans lol

If they traded 10 to get off salary that might be the last straw for me
