So I agree anything involving THJ for Holmes as the general framework and I'm very much interested. I don't think Holmes has much value in the league currently. Especially after the Sabonis deal. He's probably viewed slightly higher than Powell. Both are on similar contracts. Holmes produces slightly more.
In that mindset I wouldn't give up '22 first at all. THJ for Holmes+Harkless seems like a win for both sides.
I just listened to a round table on the Locked-On Podcast with guys from LA, Denver and Minnesota. Interesting thing the out-of-town guys said was Dallas was calling everyone trying to move THJ before the TDL. Then the last couple of days they called everyone back and said "did we say Hardaway?, sorry, we meant we were willing to trade KP". Tongue-in-cheek (which isn't always obvious on message board).
Point being that THJ looks really expendable (as many suspect). Even if we freed up picks, he probably has too many years left to be a good piece of a trade for a star. It feels like "we trade our ill fitting center for your ill fitting wing" (which is a position of need for Sac) makes some sense.
