TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

Maybe it goes the other way and Dallas sends out more money, not less as a way of getting under the Apron.  Brooklyn needs bodies and has an incentive to win.  Maybe Dinwiddie, Bertans and Powell for Kyrie and Sharpe?  Takes about $9mm of Dallas salary off the books and allows us to use more than the TP-MLE (but not quite the entire Non TP-MLE).

Well, yeah. I mean, there's nothing that would keep the Mavs from sending even more salary to BKN, if that's what BKN was shooting for. They should still want to tie it to the other existing moves, however, in order to facilitate more flexibility for something elsewhere.

There is a practical limit to how much they can tie together, because of the so-called "touch rule" (that forces add-on teams to do something with more than just 1 team, and can get bothersome as a result). But sliding BKN and Kyrie into something with other big salary on the move would be textbook.
