New CBA agreement

[F Gump]

So this would be a route to pursue “big swing” guys like Jerami Grant, PJ Washington, Bruce Brown or Kuz.

Grant and Washington (especially) would be interesting in that you could field a super effective “small” 5-out closing playoff lineup of PJ or Jerami, Maxi, Green, Luka, Kyrie.

Does Charlotte match a 20m offer for Washington? Does the max mentioned above, I think it was 28m, get it done for Grant if Dame leaves. Jerami Grant seems like a relationships guy. His moves to Detroit were built around Troy Weaver (Syracuse connection) and then Dame. Grant is a Klutch guy, which we now roster two of in Hardy and Lively.

For me, Brown at the MLE would be the highest priority target. And there's no other way for Mavs to get him than that.

As for the other 3 ...I'd much prefer Gafford as a trade target than any of those at 20M starting salary or more.
