You can't even make a legit trade with his salary, because out=/=in. TPE is gone at the start of FA.
You would pay assets just to make anything work.
If he's gone, he is gone.
Or you have to take what you can get, what is the opposite of planing.
I can't agree with this logic. There are many possibilities to make the deal work if creative enough and we have seen examples in past seasons with teams wiggling salaries to make complicated schemes work. When thinking about trade, I am of course thinking about a three way deal. This way you have plenty of options to combine the ingoing and outgoing salary correctly. Lets say Grant is the target and Brunson wants to go to NY.
Det: Salary filler from NY, salary filler from Dal, Dallas picks
NY: Brunson SnT
Dal: Grant
