It's possible. Mavs claimed they liked Mathews a lot last season but a 1st round for his aging behind is pretty good even with turner. Blazers could use cap relief a. s. a. p.

I like it a lot. Wes Matthews is a shell of himself, but he is still an upgrade over Evans for the playoff Blazers. More importantly, POR is clearing $17 mil in 2019-20 cap space for the #24 pick, which might help them jump back under the lux if they can find a way to clear Myles Leonard. It also improves their flexibility if they decide to blow it up next year.

For DAL, this seems like a fair price for that 2019 cap space, and Turner helps the tank. Adding the late first now is good timing, as they start their rebuild.
