What I was trying to say was: price to clear cap space for max offer is JRich+THJ. I think the trade price in terms of good players would be lower, if Atlanta would even consider Mavs as a partner. It might be heavier on assets (like picks). But once you are building a contender, player on court value is the only thing that really matters. It is cheaper for Mavs to pay "two picks" than JRich and THJ.
There is absolutely no guarantee this will really happen. There are always risks. Not to mention Lowry is way better defensively plus all of the other qualities he brings to the table. Depending how you see the Mavs, experienced good vet might have way more value than a young player on a path to become experienced good vet once.
You’re right...dumb comment on my part. I looked up the rules and once the offer sheet is signed, a S&T is off the table. You obviously already knew that.
