We may agree to disagree, but I think once teams notice that we need cap space, they will want assets for it. Orlando has no use of Maxi as I assume they will be tanking. I just don't see them sending us a pick, it would make more sense for them to sell their cap space to someone like Utah or Boston, looking to dump their salaries. Three team deal with Boston might be a possibility.
You are right, I said that poorly. We are Phoenix in this case and Phoenix was paid a pick for Warren. You are saying Dallas (Phoenix) would be paying a pick to offload Maxi.
I don't have time to develop it, but ChiJK may be onto something involving Turner to Boston, Smart to Indy, JRich to the Boston TPE and Maxi for TT (with TT going to Mosley and the Orlando TPE). Without looking, I think that is pretty close to working and could be done on or before draft night. Or, you announce it and wait on Lowry as Dallas didn't take back any salary and the outgoing would match Lowry at $25mm.
