Dal: Grant, Kemba, Robinson
NY: Powell, Brunson
Det: Bullock, Green, 2023 unprotected (Dallas pick from NY), 2027 top 10 protected or so
NY gets their PG for the future next to Randle and Barret. Detroit cashes in on Grant with two picks and young prospect. Dallas gets the big wing and secondary facilitator they need and replace back up PG, who will be in lesser role than Brunson.
2021/22 Mavs become:
Luka, Kemba
THJ, Burke
Grant, DFS
Robinson, Maxi
KP, WCS
You basically play Luka and Kemba at PG. THJ, Grant and DFS are main wing rotation with Kemba perhaps some minutes at SG next to Luka. Robinson, KP and Maxi is your big rotation. DFS guards best 1-3, Grant best 3-4.
In 2022 Mavs have 2022 and 2025 FRP to trade for a final piece, probably with KP or THJ contract as salary match.
I like this idea but if I'm Detroit I'm not waiting around until 2027, if the protections are removed they can ask for the 2025 pick.
Also, I'm officially anti-protections from here on out. It's the most understated handcuff in the league when it comes to roster management.
