Best thing for Dallas to do would to go after Wes Matthews, I personally wouldn't go after butler too hard. I don't think hes a great fit with parsons
That line up would make it hard on the league beat.But if you put Beverley in for Llull the defense would be shut down.
Smart move by Dallas unfortunately, I don't think you can play D worse than he did in the first round against us.

I think Matthews would be a nice player to have next to Parsons. But if the Mavs do end up stealing Bev and he starts, Butler may be the better option, because he and Parsons would need to run a lot of the offense. Here's to hoping they get none of those players.
Maybe, but they also now need a PG, SG, C, and bench. That 25-30 mil in capspace will disappear very quickly with a shopping list like that.
Does Memphis have any money available? They have to spend everything they've got(and then some) to hang onto Gasol.

Excellent. Green is a great shooter, but not a playmaker like Ellis. And his loss would hurt the Spurs. Dallas would at best marginally improve(and I personally think they're worse replacing Ellis with Green) and the Spurs would get worse unless they find a suitable, cheap replacement for Green.
