My only pushback against the Trigg idea is that it is based on the thought that SAC might toss in the towel and go into full rebuild mode. Unfortunately I think they are on the opposite end of the spectrum right now in their thinking (even if they are thinking wrong), and that they are looking for moves to make them immediately be better.
You might get Holmes if they don't see him as helpful, and want to get off his money to do something else, because he's been replaced by Sabonis and is being paid a lot for a much smaller role. But not sure they would ship out Barnes, because I don't think they have a ready replacement.
With them drafting at 4, that could change, of course.
I would have no problem if the Mavs included 26 and Green in such a deal, but I'd want pick 37 sent this way. I think there will be some desirable long-shots still on the board at 37, with my favorite being a draft-and-stash in Europe of Kamagate, and 37 is not too high for a player to be handed a two-way that doesn't eat up a roster slot.
