We've talked about the difficulty of dealing with the bonuses of the Toronto players in an AD trade. Smitty posted one that works on Discord (may have posted it here and I just missed it). It keeps Toronto similarly under the first apron to where they are now and Dallas similarly positioned to the second apron to where they are now. The deal is:
Dallas Outgoing: AD, Martin, D'Lo and Williams
Dallas Incoming: Quickley, Barrett and Agbaji
Picks weren't specified so that each could make their own presumption as to fair value
Toronto is taking out a lot of our trash. Agbaji is expiring (and could go to a third team fairly easily). Quickley's deal is flat and Barrett goes up $1.9mm next year. So, a net increase of $1.9mm for that pair.
For Toronto, Williams is expiring and the combo of AD, Martin and D'Lo are set to get $5mm in raises next season. So, Dallas could get some decent help here financially and some useful vets for next season (to either retain or trade). Kind of like the KP deal except Quickley and Barrett are higher end (players and cost) than Dinwiddie and Bertans.
