Anyway, with THJ, if he's leaving, wouldn't it be possible to do a 3-team trade? THJ traded to the team with cap space he's chosen, Conley traded to the Mavs, big TPE to Utah.
It is posted in this thread from this time yesterday. If Conley is your guy, you don't mess around. You sign him right off the bat. You can go two years $48 million with the room you have even if JRich opts in. If it takes more years, fine. I have no problem giving him a third year to correspond to KP's deal. If it takes more money, you put it in a non-guaranteed extra year that you assume he won't play. He did that in his last contract.
You trade match for Oubre using JRich. JRich can go to GS or as you point out he can go to a third team and we can S&T for Oubre in the same deal. There is a huge range of possible salaries with JRich as the outgoing. I see the need to include Maxi in a Collins deal. I see no reason to do so in a Conley deal. In fact, it is counter productive to team building.
