Holinger agrees with you, @Mavs2021:

Marks has about a 13 minutes video where he talks about the trade and the outlook for both teams.

To answer my question, he doesn’t know why Washington would trade Kuzma or Gafford.  You eventually have to have players and both are playing well on very good contracts.  He sees them selling expiring Jones and maybe Wright.  Getting an expiring guy now instead of waiting til the summer has even more value under the new CBA if you are a second apron team and want to keep that player (he suggests Jones to Miami or Minnesota.

He said you don’t pay to move on from Bagley if you are Detroit unless you have a plan for the cap room created.  The plan could be for this summer or could be before the TDL.  He asked if expiring Burks and expiring Morris might be a swap for Wiggins where Detroit gets something for taking that on.  They have other big expiring deals like Harris, Wiseman and Hayes and the two new guys are expiring, but can’t be aggregated.

If it were up to Marks, the guys some of us think of in terms of trade targets are probably not getting moved, but both teams (expiring for Detroit and TPE for Washington) might be salary dump candidates.
