Although, if teams are interested, it does increase the liklihood of finding something. This new organization have already proven they can be creative. I mean we are looking for a small asset back. Nothing to break the bank, but it would be nice if they found a way to get Klay to a better spot and also get a small tip back.
They can take a big swing on a young guy that might have an albatross contract if he doesn't rebound from his poor play last year.
DAL: Braun + '29 FRP
DEN: Thompson
Denver owes a FRP to OKC next year. It's top-5 protected. But once it conveys (we all assume it will), that makes '29 or '30 tradeable. At least that's how I read their future draft pick situation. So, it will have to have some language, if they are to trade a first.
This move saves DEN $4M this year and gets off the long-term Braun money, that they can use to keep Watson?

They would have to really like Braun...
