It is of course not that simple and I would appreciate if you would take time to consider the overall scenario, not just take a thing out of context as above.
1. Mavs don't control THJ, he is UFA
2. If Mavs first move is to bring in a guy like Conley and his price is 25 mil, you only have 17 mil left if you trade Maxi. Who says this is enough for THJ?
3. If Mavs bring in Conley, the only place for THJ is bench. How do you know he wants to stay in bench role?
4. Do you want to pay 17 mil for a bench guard, when you have Brunson as a score first guard and you want to give developmental minutes to Green? I would claim wing is a far bigger need than guard
5. Even if answer to all of the above is yes and THJ is still a go for 17 mil, you are not comparing him to WCS (or Bobi or Reddick) but to Oubre and WCS (or Bobi or Reddick).
