I do think GS got more out of him than expected, and there were signs of improvement. But, ultimately, he's pretty available, right? So, it's not like they're dying to keep building around him. 

And, most importantly, this situation in Dallas is not likely to be as solid and organized as the GS situation with Kerr, Curry and Green, etc. Especially next year, since everyone in the building will be starting from scratch, finding their way. The entire identity of the organization will be up in the air, in a state of transition. Maybe not the best time to have a guy like Wiggins around.

So if a team comes to you and offers you an unprotected 2023 FRP for DFS or Brunson or Maxi or a somewhat worse contract for an opted-in Richardson, do you take it just so you can saddle up if Beal, Lavine come available at next year's TDL?

Basically, how much are you willing to give up simply to have all your draft pick ammunition back?

Maybe it was never about Wiggins' talent, or what he understood tactically in a general sense, but more about how much he loves (or doesn't love) the grind of preparing off-court, between games, in order to be prepared for each matchup. Maybe the Warriors and the standard they've established held him more accountable than he had been in the past.

The good thing is Donnie or whoever wanted him is gone....

The fact that we don't know WHO in Dallas had interest, in light of recent events, kind of bothers me, because it's next to impossible to predict anything moving forward. But, I guess that's true of any team that's changing GM/coach.

What about signing a guy like Reggie Jackson to an overpriced 2 year deal with a team option? 

You overpay to get someone to commit to a team option deal and then have an expiring deal to trade or decline for free agency next year. Allows for alot of flexibility in trades at the deadline and next summer. 

There are alot of quality free agents next summer. Not even talking max guys but of course Lavine too. But there would be plenty of opportunity for SNT deals with an expiring deal.. Or you can straight up sign them with cap space if you declined.
