Pistons Trade- Jon Leuer, Stanley Johnson, Eric Moreland and a 2nd round pick

Mavs help their rebuild and Pistons get a strong a starter and decent backup to avoid making them the Pelicans of the east

Mathews eats up too much cap with Detroit. Asking for a 1st for Mathews is an indication of not wanting to trade him.

I read an article that said the Mavs mentioned the 1st round asking price because of Matthews presence in the locker room; I don't think he's worth a 1st rounder unless its in the last few picks of the first round.

If they are going to take on $17M a year over the next 2 years; I think they can find better value.

Mathews expires this season, but will likely exercise his player option for 18 mil next season. Not worth a 1st or a second. But not a terrible player, just paid too much. Dallas can handle the salary. Maybe Mathews renegotiates with Dallas this summer.
