For instance, Gordon is the kind of guy whose value could be enhanced in Dallas...making him both a trade chip in 2021...while at the same time being an expiring deal in 2022. If that is the case, then the MLE might go to someone not quite deserving that amount, but willing to do a 2/1 instead of three guaranteed years.
Unless they are tampering like crazy and have written agreement from Giannis that he will come in 2021, I trully hope this will be their strategy. Building on a pipedream is so idiotic. If Giannis decides to go to Dallas in 2021, you can give away everything to create cap space for him, as you have a contender with Luka, KP, Giannis and 12 scrubs.
