It's hard to think of many Exum/Dinwiddie upgrades who also have the size/defensive chops to play next to Kyrie. And even though he hasn't been efficient offensively, Chicago is still +5.4 with Lonzo on the court and -7.4 with him off.
Powell+Hardy would be an exact salary match. I'm assuming Dallas would have to add some draft compensation as well. Too bad the Philly 2nd is gone.
One important point about +/- to keep in mind is that it does NOT necessarily travel from team to team with a player. It's totally contextual, essentially measuring a player versus his replacement in the lineup and within the team. That comparative measure on another team with alternative players being compared to is going to be brand new.
Obviously if a player is superstar, he'll be better wherever he plays. But lesser players? Never know. The sub for him may have just been bad.
