Haha that's funny that you think that Leonard is going to start.

Considering the Blazers aren't a lock to make the playoffs meaning that pick could easily end up in lottery I think its a solid move for Mavs who aren't likely to be a major player for FA for a few years and Turner is only signed a year longer than Matthews.

For the Blazers I don't think this clears enough cap space to justify giving up their first with Matthews likely to accept his option with him getting up there in age.

Then the Mavs could send a 2nd back to the Blazers.

Portland won't part ways with a 1st rd pick for that old and injured mess.

I don't think that trade is really beneficial for either team.
