SnT's for both will cost THJ+Maxi+Green just to get the contracts to match. Add in Hardy and maybe even OMax as sweeteners. Is that worth it? I mean we aren't technically touching the core of anyone who played real minutes and contributed to this run. Maxi is the biggest loss. But to add a guy like PG13 or Lebron kind of seems like a no brainer.
A guy if you want to take on risk and revisit is Andrew Wiggins, who is a two-way wing that can score 15-20 a night consistently. Only reason why he won't cost a lot of assets is solely because of GSW cap issues and the fact Wiggins takes nights off.
Does he fit?
Assuming LAC re-signs Harden, they cannot send out PG via SNT (new rules).
Lebron is a harder issue, and the contract makes a difference. I assume he will be a FA, which means a SNT (if he's not, trading for him is probably a non-starter with him being a 51M contract to match, plus only get him for a year). In a SNT Dallas will have to send more salary than they pay him and also account for how to stay at $178M total payroll or below.
I don't like Wiggins. I don't see him as fitting the description of two-way and top tier. I think he's considerably overpriced for who he actually is. And GS is looking for a trade partner who will reduce their payroll, but Mavs don't have cap space to offer (in fact, they need cap space too).
