I'd be willing to do that deal with no pick. You mentioned Hardy as the fill in the blank. That's (3) negative value players/contracts attached to AD. The biggest issue I see is what it means for the Hawks. Davis would be the only Big on their roster with this move. Day to Day Davis... Maybe that fill in the blank player has to be Powell? Or it's up to the Hawks to make an additional move to address that hole at C.

"I'd be willing to do that deal with no pick." -- From a payroll standpoint, it's great. But I think the Mavs are looking for a "very high potential" player (or the possibility thereof) as part of the deal, and imo neither Risacher or OO is on that level. If the NO pick isn't going to be included to satisfy that, something else needs to. 
 
In any event, it does feel to me like the players (and the payroll they carry) in that 4-for-4 are in the right ballpark as is or something close to it, with a financial result that should be good for them. 

Powell instead of Hardy? Sure, for me it wouldn't be a deal-killer to do that fill in the blank.
