What if you did Grant (prize)/Griffin (salary relief) for THJ (expiring), JJ (expiring), Powell (salary matching), Brunson (value) and a pick?
Why the Mavs do it? Grant gives them the two way player the covet. They pray to God they can squeeze something out of Griffin for the remaining two years.
Why the Mavs don't do it? THJ and JB are a ton of firepower on this squad right now.
Why does Detroit do it? Get off of Griffins salary. Grant doesn't fit their timeline. JB is a nice young piece that's worth a mid-to-late FRP. Powell's salary sucks but he gives you a veteran leader. Another pick for their rebuild.
Why Detroit doesn't do it? Can they get more value by just trading Grant by himself?
