That´s why I think it will be easier to trade THJ in a package with Green for an more expensive impact player. THJ costs like 25 to 50% of a team´s remaining capspace for an outright dump and he has little player value. Why would another team want to do that? If you add Green to the equation, you get a cost-controlled young asset, while you suffer the THJ contract for one season. Lose DeRozan for nothing or get Josh Green. Easy choice for the Bulls.*

*arguing this from the perspective of the other teams. Not whether the Mavs should give up Green for a player like DeRozan.

Well the Bulls can sign DeRozan to anything they want, regardless if THJ ate up the rest of their 0 space (they have about 65mil of cap holds in DeRozan and Williams they have to take care of). If the Bulls let everyone walk they got 13 mil of space.

THJ doesn't affect their ability to keep any of their guys.
