Mavs send: James Johnson+Dwight Powell+Tyrell Terry
CHI: OPJ+WCJr
Assuming we don't have hope to get player like OPJ in the buyout market, I would definitely explore a trade for him, if Mavs are willing to say goodbye to Powell. Since Bulls would be taking the privilige to pay Powell for two more years, it would definitely take assets just for OPJ. But I like the general idea and I would seriously explore it. It doesn't look Chicago wants to count on WCJ longterm.
In my opinion, more realistic proposal, would be something like:
Mavs: OPJ+WCJ
Chi: Johnson, Powell, Green, 2027 FRP
If we would only go for OPJ, I doubt there are many candidates to match his contract around. But I would assume Chicago would only take expiring money back or expect heavy draft compensation. So something like:
- Johnson, WCS, Boban, 2 SRP for OPJ (problem with 3 for 1 trade). If we add Green we could take back Gafford and Kornet and make it a 4 for 3 trade which is more manageable.
