Brooklyn would likely be more than ready to discuss SnT as they have very limited ways to improve their team. Assuming THJ, WCS and JRich are gone, Mavs have 34 mil of cap space. If we SnT Kleber to BKN for Dinwiddie at 17 mil we would have 25 mil left. Enough for another higher end FA. Of course a compensation from BKN would be required. They probably wouldn't have a problem taking Burke. I think Claxton wouldn't be on the table. A "wink wink" agreement for #27 pick (basically Mavs tell BKN who to pick) and a future second rounder?
You do this kind of deal only if you know why you need roughly 25 mil of cap space. Collins, for example.
Luka, Brunson
Dinwiddie, Green
DFS, rMLE
Collins, BaE
KP, Powell
I hope to god Din is not our target, and if he is we better not pay 17 mil for him, and if we do we better not trade Maxi for him.
Also, I don't see Atlanta giving up Collins, and if they do it will require assets, and if it does it will very likely include Maxi.
If we are going to get someone who can't space the floor very well and can't play defense, I would rather just get DeRozan who is an elite shot creator.
