He is entering his last year at 30 million, but I have trouble seeing teams being interest in him despite his upside. They may need to give something up in that trade. It will be Intersting but his value may be close to the Dallas value.
I think Jrue will get some interest. It is tricky to get a cheaper player back though. Boston has done a nice job building for contingencies with their roster. Obviously you can’t prepare for a Tatum injury. Without Tatum injury, I thought they would have to make some tough decisions this offseason but still have a title window. We will see now with the injury.
Boston has most of their picks available. If they find a cheaper replacement, I don't think it will be a problem for them to pay a third team to take some extra salary. KP for Boston has been great when healthy, but that wasn't often. He had injury problems both seasons in the playoffs.
Just as an example. Lets say Lakers see JRue as the guy and Boston likes AR. They could send AR to Boston and one of them pays third or potentially even fourth team to take Maxi and Vincent into capspace.
