Monta Ellis (who Danny has liked in the past), who has a +19 PER and Wright (who has about a +26 PER) and a #1 gets this done. We likely have to include Fav to keep us from getting into a luxury tax situation and I think Dallas could absorb Fav and be fine or pay a small luxury tax penalty.

This really might be the BEST we can get!!!

Thoughts??
the mavs are not giving up Ellis. Nor Dirk, Parsons or Chandler.
They want Rondo to try to make a major run.
I don't think they have enough to entice Danny to make a trade. I mean 2 1sts is very nice for a half year rental. And by 2016,2018 mavs could be in serious rebuild mode. Or not and we could end up with a low end 1sts.
Danny i'm sure is trying to get a nice young player plus a 1st. Houston is also showing interest. I wonder if they are offering Terrence Jones (but is injured now) and a 1st. Or a 1st and Garbage. T Jones, Capela, Canaan and a 1st would work for me
I think you're right that Dallas doesn't have enough, although if we aren't getting decent offers from Sacramento and Houston then Danny may have to accept Wright+2 firsts.
I'd say that someone has leaked this info to Wojnarowski to ramp up offers between the Rockets and Sacramento- ultimately Sacramento being the prized bull here with Mclemore and a pick.
I'd still rather keep him but Danny might have info that other teams are just willing to pay him too much vs his real basketball value on the court. If that's the case, then I can see why he'd do it.
Thinking about the bigger picture, if the Rockets gave us Terrence Jones, Clint Capela and a pick for some kind of Rondo package then we'd be able to trade Jones to move up on draft night.
I'd say Danny's ultimate aim here is to get some highly prized young assets like Terrence Jones or Ben Mclemore, so he can move up in the draft if we need to.
He wants Okafur, Towns or Muiday.
Trade away any veterans we have, and tank our butts off and try and get Okafur.
Imagine...
Okafur
Smart
Mclemore (or)
Jones
Young
Sully
Olynyk
Zeller
Bradley
Clippers pick
Brooklyn picks.
Let Brad Stevens coach em' up from the cradle to the playoffs.
