2022 NBA Draft: #37 Jaden Hardy (6' 3", 6' 9" WS) to DAL | two 2nds to SAC

The bigger issue is where all the picks are coming from.  NY can easily do this without us and as Omahen has pointed out, there is a world in which we have to pay something to even get a TPE.  The only I see that we get even a single pick from NY (preferably our own) is if it will cost them something to drop the final $10mm needed for Brunson.  If some cap team would take Burks or Noel with no compensation returning, then we are screwed.  If it is going to cost NY a pick to dump Burks or Noel, then just as easy to give us the pick to take a $10mm player from NY than to find a third team.

Thanks for replying and working out the money. I'm operating under the assumption that cap space is an extreme luxury, and that teams aren't going to want to just give it away. We saw how expensive it was for NYK to dump Kemba on draft night and he was only 9 mil. 1 lotto pick and 4 2nd rounders is prohibitively expensive to dump an expiring.

SO in my mind if that's what it costs to just dump 1 contract, I assume the Mavs can go to NYK and spin it like:
1 FRP for Brunson, 1 FRP for the salary dump. Otherwise go find someone else to take your trash. 

Even still I like the Murray idea. I don't think he'd cost 3 firsts as thats incredibly expensive, but maybe 2 firsts and a 2nd? I'd do that all day. 

I'd also am starting to warm up to the idea of D'Angelo Russell as a reclamation project. His defense got a lot better this year and he's been a pretty good shooter for most of his career.
