One possibility to consider ...
Aminu has been incredibly bad offensively the entire time in ORL. So bad it makes him close to unplayable. And he's getting 10M this year and next.
It would probably be a lot of value for the Magic for a team to take him off their hands. And perhaps the Mavs wouldn't be afraid of taking him, since he was here before. (But, again, his offense is AWFUL. Beyond awful.)
So maybe there's a framework of a deal that STARTS like this:
Gordon - Aminu
Powell - Johnson
Is that close enough to open the door to negotiate from there? That feels like an opening idea or offer, maybe with a pick included, and then see if ORL is interested enough to talk further.
Maybe it goes nowhere. But maybe Mavs are asked to add DFS or Green or a pick. Maybe in return for that ask, ORL is asked to add something. Maybe Mavs try to get Ross in the deal instead of Aminu. Maybe Burke is added to the mix. Maybe ORL is eager to shuffle the deck in a big way. Maybe the Mavs aren't, but are enticed by the opportunity to add Gordon if the number of bodies is limited. Maybe maybe maybe ..but the key is finding a starting point to work from.
