If they want to clean the books a bit, THJ for Bogdan B. makes sense. AJ Griffin appears to be out of their rotation and makes that same $4mm-ish that Grimes makes. It doesn't quite get you to the NT MLE, but it may get you close enough. Griffin probably isn't as good as Grimes, but you are getting Bogdan, who solves quite a few things for us.
I am not so sure about Bogdan. He is a very good player, but I have my doubts Mavs will be able to play him next to both Luka and Kyrie when things matter most. He is not a good enough defender.
From Atlanta perspective, he is a great 6th man for them. I think these are the players that will be dealt before they get to Bogi, unless they get a really good offer: Capela, Murray (or Trae or even both), Hunter. From there it depends a lot what players and salary will be going back their way
