2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[Mavs32]

just spitballing here but it looks like Indy was interested in THJ based on the rumor of the Lavert trade proposal.  So what if the Mavs did

THJ, Burke & Moses Brown
for
TJ Warren, Torey Craig and T Thompson.

Thompson would have to be a seperate deal but he could slide into the TE.

this saves Indy about $1.2m this year.  Gives them two pieces that Carlisle knows and likes along with a developmental center at a relatively cheap cost.

Mavs get two bench wings.  if TJ can be healthy he can really boost the offense off the bench and Craig is solid.
Thompson helps add depth at the bigs or you can buy him out.
Then the Mavs can try to get Dragic on the buyout market.

If you wanted to get crazy you can call Atlanta and see if they wanted to get in on this.
THJ & a Dallas 2nd to Indy
Maxi, Craig & a Mavs 1st to Atlanta
TJ Warren & Collins to Dallas.

Dallas still does Thompson into the TE and buys him out.
Indy gets 2nd, THJ and saves about around $6m this year
Atlanta gets two defenders and a first.  If they want, they can take Burke (or Indy can)

then if neither team wants Burke or Brown you cut them.
