He solves so many of our issues. Keeping some combination of Luka, Ball and Brunson on the court at all times (and all 3 occasionally) would be a great situation for years to come. Ball also makes great sense for NY and Chicago, so he will get paid. I think the estimates of $20mm seem low.
Totally agree. Green and Burke as 4th and 5th guard would be totally fine guard rotation and Green would actually be able to get some regular minutes.

Again I agree. I think there is a difference between Collins and Ball. Atlanta will match any offer for Collins, imho. If you throw max at Ball, I don't think NO matches. If Mavs help pack Powells bags to OKC, they will still have around 15 mil to play with in FA for a wing or center upgrade. And mini MLE and BaU. I think it is an intriguing option.
