The Reggie for Reddish deal and confirming through his sources that THJ is indeed available for LeVert and it is really up to Cleveland to decide if they want to do it or not. Since I'm about to tie the two together, he also has written that NY would be willing to trade Rose if the deal "did right" by the former Thibs favorite.
It would be quite disruptive, but is there a world in which Reggie goes to NY and Tim goes to Cleveland. LeVert (CAA) ends up in NY and we get compensated with Reddish/Rose and at least one other contract from somebody. NY needs to send out about $2.5mm more in a Reggie/LeVert for Reddish/Rose deal. That is more than any of their smaller contracts for guys like Quickley, Grimes, McBride or Sims. Theoretically we could take two of those guys. NY could also send out someone making as much as Hartenstein and still save Dallas a dollar or two. Or, you could add Fournier and Bertans to the deal and make it large enough that the trade spread swallows the $2.5mm needs to send out.
Maybe I'm missing something here to clarify if I'm wrong. But why would NY take back RB when they let him walk into FAgency? Are they looking for more 3 pt shooting? If so, I'd like to think they could do better than Bullock.
