You are very subjective here. Since you gave such a critical look at Dipo, let's have a critical look at OPJ. With the exception of first 15 games with Chicago, he never scored more than 15 ppg and he actually came close to that in one season only. His efficiency was not really great most of his career. Same as Dipo he was troubled by an injury and it is not clear yet if he can return to preinjury self (which was worse than preinjury Dipo). The only thing he is better at is 3 point shooting.
OPJ salary is higher than Dipo, which automatically means it will take more salary on our side to make the deal work. I really have no idea why would Chicago trade him for what we have. He is their only wing. Moving him probably makes them worse and it doesn't look they are rebuilding. So I don't agree it will be cheaper to get him than Dipo.
There is no way they take Powell and Wright salary as that would require our picks without sending a good player back. We could offer THJ+Jackson. But they have a bunch of similar players to THJ like LaVine, White etc. So would you pay Kleber+Curry+Wright+picks for him?
