I like Maxi's defense, so I'm wary of Maxi for LM, but that's the simplest possibility.
If we say that's the deal, as an over-cap swap for DAL they can offer LM 3/42 or 4/57, with starting salary of $13.337M. They would retain their TPE.
With some cap gymnastics, they could offer him a contract starting somewhere around $14.5M, depending on starting salaries in other deals, but they would lose their TPE to do that.
If there are more or different players than that simple one-for-one, then the contract possibilities for an offer to LM would change.
I'd much prefer a deal built around Powell for LM, but that gets way more complex because more pieces are definitely required.
