I didn´t even notice how good that Isaac contract is. The last three years are not fully guaranteed according to spotrac. They basically did what the Mavs should have done with Porzingis.
The guarantees are
2022/2023: $16M
2023/2024: $7.6M
2024/2025: $0M
So he could be waived at minimal cost as early as next summer, but if he overcomes the injury problems you have a stud at $17M until 2025.
The Magic might be a team which would legitimately have interest in THJ, they were 28th in 3PT shooting percentage last year. Mavs can't get Bamba though, because again, S&T isn't possible. I also doubt Orlando sell Isaac when his value is so low. But maybe the Magic decides to re-sign Bamba and sell WCJ instead of losing Bamba for nothing. WCJ was the guy the Mavs supposedly wanted that year if they couldn't get Luka (oof at imagining that Mavs team). Terrence Ross has also made it known he wants out of Orlando.
THJ, Green, and 26
for
WCJ and Ross
The Magic add shooting, veteran leadership, and an additional young defensive guy who could develop into a versatile 3&D wing. The Mavs get a starting C who would hopefully develop into the next Al Horford.
