Pair the pick with him and go get us someone cheaper. So, Boston does the Horford trade super early.
I hear what you're saying, and it's a great idea. I just have a hard time believing Dallas is at all involved in the Kemba deal considering Boston made it after Dallas lost both their coach and GM and has no idea who will be leading them in a few weeks. It's not exactly the best time to work a delayed trade heavily dependent on mutual trust between two front offices.
