I know OKC wants to consolidate for a dozen different reasons, but it occurs to me that they might want to use 17 in a different deal. I feel like it's maybe not the safest assumption that 9 for 12 and 17 is available to the Mavs.
I actually agree. Which is why I avoided talking about 17 all together in that post. I actually typed up something about 17 possibly not being part of it and deleted it bc I didn’t want it to take away from my real point that Klutch would need to get Burries to 12 in this trade back hypothetical.
If Hawks go Mara, I don’t even think it’s available to them. This was just an exercise in what could play out. The way I see it anyway.
