One is the opportunity to pick up a player who deserves a multi-year/greater than MLE deal for the MLE for one year. It would be pretty hard to pass up Gallinari or Millsap for one year at $9mm as examples. The other is moving 2021 salary. Hollinger seemed to think moving Wright wouldn’t be that difficult. ... 31 to move Wright.
Let's say Dallas offers Wright+31 to OKC (a team known to be aggressively accumulating picks) for a S&T Gallinari. Dallas could pay Gallo up to $14mm (only 1 year guaranteed, but quite a bit more than the MLE) or up to $19mm if they also include Jackson. That would kill your two birds with one stone.
