DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Mapka]

So the thing yall are forgetting about with a Green move is that we would be dumping Wrights contract in the process. Yes Green is not worth 31 but Green plus subtracting Wright might be worth 31, we will see. Mavs might do it for cheaper but Wright is a negative asset so you aren't going to be able to move him without some kind of cost.

So, let's explore another way this might work.  OKC agrees to buyout Green for $6mm.  Why does Green agree to a $9.35mm pay cut?  Because Dallas has promised to sign him to a one year MLE deal that makes him whole.  But wait, that means OKC paid $6mm for the 28th pick.  Not if Cuban writes a $5mm check.  In that case, they paid $1mm for the 28th pick (about the going rate).

There is one thing missing from "The Dan Plan".  There has to be a trade between Dallas and OKC in which Cuban can funnel some money (because the buyout/MLE plan isn't a trade).  If only we could think of a way that OKC and Dallas might be involved in a trade of some kind that might make Green useful as a replacement for DFS.  Hmmm, I wonder if anyone has any ideas.

Isn't something like this, one of the things, that makes the nba take away your pick for circumventing the cap?

I'm pretty glad Orcam's razor says it's to complex to be probable.

Can we stop giving away DFS for (lesser) roleplayers (on worse contracts). I know our fantasy trades are just spitballing, but this makes me guessing my own sanity.
