Lee --> SAC
Covington --> SAC
Jackson --> SAC
Brunson --> MIN
Swanigan --> MIN
GSW #2 --> MIN
DAL #2 --> MIN
SAC #2 --> MIN
Bogdanovich --> DAL
Dedmon --> DAL
Sacramento moves Bogdanovich for a high value forward on a good deal (Covington); and they move off Dedmon for an expiring Lee, but they have to attach a No 2 that goes to MIN. I like the fit of Covington in SAC because he adds to their modern, fast, playing style and shoots 3s while bolstering the defense. Covington will start at PF and bump Bagley to rim rolling center. Sac can play five out and would be a nightmare matchup.
Minnesota turns Covington into a haul of young players & picks. Brunson can start at PG and Swanigan is a recent No 1 on a rookie deal with upside. They also save about $8 million this year and free up cap space in out years. Wolves need a shakeup and a steady hand at PG. Brunson fits the bill and will bring stability to a group that desperately needs a floor general. Brunson has been at his best as a traditional PG, but those minutes are few and far between behind Doncic.
Dallas picks up Doncic's buddy and secondary playmaker Bogdanovich; plus a playable backup center Dedmon while taking on additional salary. I'd also send Jackson back to Sacramento (or over to Minnesota) but it's not necessary to include him. Mavs need a secondary playmaker to reduce Doncic workload and for the playoffs, when teams will force the ball out of Doncic's hands. Right now JJ Barea is the second best playmaker on the team and as much as I love JJB... he's not the answer.
