It´s a lot easier to construct a trade and match the salary for smaller contracts. Match 16m with the MLE + rookie. Now try to do the same with a max contract. Includes more pieces or another big contract.
No I can´t help you, if you cannot understand that 16M of garbage is still garbage. What do you expect in return for this matchable salary?
Maybe its just a misunderstanding.
If you tell me that in 12 months we move Bertans + an unprotected 1st round pick for the expiring contract of Danilo Gallinari, than you are 100% spot on and we agree his contract was more easily match and moveable than Porzingis´ contract in this specific deal.
If you tell me further that in 12 months we move Dinwiddie + an unprotected 1st round pick for the contract of Evan Fournier, than you are 100% spot on again.
I will tell you that it would not have cost more assets to get rid of Porzingis in a Wall trade right now, but it would have cost Cuban a lot more money in the short-term i.e. 2022/2023 luxury tax bill.
