This is all based on what @danschwartzgan and others have already proposed tapped into one transaction. I added Gallinari to the Atl trade because I don’t think a Collins for Barnes straight up gets it done. Maybe a 2nd included to get Heild?
The numbers technically work as is, but I’m not sure the incentive is there for every team.
Dallas sends: KP, THJ, Bullock, Sterling Brown
Dallas receives: Holmes, Gallinari, Heild, Collins
Why: Dallas strengthens their front court, gets a better shooter in Heild, but has to take on Gallinari’s contract and Heild’s less favorable contract
Sacto sends: Bagley, Holmes, Barnes
Sacto receives: KP, Sterling Brown
Why: Improves front court pairing with Sabonis and gets a player with a much higher ceiling
Indy sends: Heild
Indy receives: THJ
Why: gets a slightly lesser talent but someone that is familiar with RC who is on a much more team friendly deal
Atl sends: Collins, Gallinari
Atl receives: Barnes, Bagley, Bullock
Why: Offloads 2 big contracts, improves defense, and gets a slight upgrade in shooting
I dont believe this team will trade Bullock. Players that are developing and showing chemistry with Luka will be kept. Brunson in particular is a must keep. KP and THJ are not that great fits and will likely get traded, but maybe not at this trade deadline?

So Kings apply pressure or trade talks for Holmes over. Bagley still available.
Just to be sure, can we get some clarification from The Athletic whether teams now know,
when trying to discuss trades with the Mavs?

The conspiracy theorist in my likes this as the trio of Holmes, Bagley and Harkless salary matches KP's salary. Unfortunately, Harkless did actually sprain his ankle in the second quarter last night.

Gonna need a replacement guard back too in Quickley. If NY wants him so bad they have to put up something big for him.

I’m ok with a sprained ankle. I can’t imagine that would cause him to fail the physical.

KP playing in ~60-70% of the games is more beneficial to the Mavs than those 3 players combined, IMO.
If possible to trade owners before the trade deadline, who would you trade Cuban for?

Probably an owner who’s name I don’t know because they aren’t involved in their franchises decision making and leave that to the basketball people.

Ballmer. Dude spends money even when they have no chance this year.

Pretty much anyone other than Dolan or Ranadivé
