2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

C Holmes/Powell/Chris
PF DFS/Maxi/Bertans
SF Reggie/Holiday
SG Brunson/Green/Frankie
PG Luka/Dinwiddie

If we did something like this, I suspect Dallas would send back at least one player from among those making less than Sacramento's $4mm TPE.  We already have one too many players if you assume we keep our pick and Frank's NG for 22/23.  So, a two for one just makes that worse.  If you did this in June, you might could squeeze two players (Burke and Chriss or Brown and Chriss) into the TPE and save some money and clear the roster glut.  

Point being Chriss might not be here if this is the deal.  That's OK because your big rotation is probably more like:

C   Holmes/Powell/Maxi
PF DFS/Maxi/Bertans

Reggie and Green still split the SF minutes and the three ball handlers split the SG/PG minutes and Holiday is an expiring non factor in the rotation.  My issue with this for Sacramento is I question whether they would prefer THJ or Reggie.  They are a bad defensive team (so Reggie?).  They are a bad 3 point shooting team (so, either?).  The key is what they do with their lottery pick.  Here is what they have coming back under contract plus DD who I presume they will retain.  I think the hole is obvious and if they draft to fill the hole, they probably want Reggie's shorter contract while the lottery pick develops vs. THJ's longer/bigger contract.
