Yep, 4ever's right. Heywood was amnestied already. I think it makes sense the Mavs trade the pick. It's not so much about losing a pick to save 1.6 mil. It's about losing a pick to save 1.6 mil + $9,320,000 (Marion's contract).
Mavs are trading the pick to whoever will take Marion.
Didn't marion say he wouldn't play for any team that wasn't a contender (if he gets traded)?
If so i say just take him, and he can raja bell himself, while we continue with our youngsters as planned.
I say we get the Mavs pick and commence the SUPER FOREIGN DRAFT OF 2013!!! Schroeder at 13, Karasev at 14, Adetokunbo at 21 and Lauvergne at 46!
I really think it's worth it for the Mavs to go all-in on free agency, otherwise they might as well just trade Dirk and get this rebuild started and done right. They've already sacrificed two seasons to get this far, why not go all the way? And what's the cost, a draft pick that probably won't contribute right away and would be even less likely to be a great player?
The question at that point becomes who wants to deal with Dallas and who would Dallas prefer to deal with. If all other things are equal, I trade with Milwaukee if I'm Dallas just because of conference. I can't even wrap my head around what pieces would be in place as sweeteners. Maybe the Jazz send, uhh... a future 2nd rounder? I would guess getting some lesser picks down the line? Jeremy Evans?
Oh stop pissing your pants.Who would have thunk the Mavs would ****ed us up this way. This is truly depressing.
Bye Bye Schroeder. He's as good as gone.
