It seems like there would be a number you can get him at to make the Pels let him walk or you do a S&T situation (using the overpay as leverage) to give them a small asset in return. It would be similar to the situation with Brogdan a couple years ago.
I am not in love with Lonzo per se, altho i do like him and considering what's available in FA if you could get him for some combo of like an overpay + like Green or something I would be interested. It might be better than overpaying Rich and/or THJ.
I agree I see Lonzo as more of a potential signing in RFA, moreso than the Mavs swapping out existing talent to do so. I do like Lonzo a lot, because I see him as the realized version of what people projected Halliburton to be. A guard who complements Luka very well. Plays defense at an extremely high level, shoots 3s and contributes to total team offensive ball movement without requiring that the ball goes through him. Like if Josh Richardson was 4 years younger, could actually shoot 3s at 38%, could distribute the ball at a high level and was steadily improving all his offensive metrics every year instead of stagnating/getting worse.
