Mavs will offer him a lot of money, will do any kind of Schwartz favors required and send Maxi + stuff to Atlanta as compensation. The goal will be to get him with outgoing salary, likely involving at least 1 other team so that Mavs can retain THJ.
MLE could be part of the Schwartz favors side of the deal where they give Dipo or another Schwartz client some money.
The Hawks didn't like Maxi and stuff at the TDL.
I don't see who we would send out with Maxi to get over 20 Mio unless we pay OKC to take opted in JRich or Powell.
But if it's Powell we further gut our bench and lose more "stuff" we don't have.
We killed all our chances for JC and if Dipo isn't miraclely back to being a player, still don't have someone making a single play if Luka sits.
I would rather sign the best playmaker we can get with the MLE and run it back as it is, looking at the next TDL.
