If Hornets are attaching a pick the Mavs should be all over it :-) THJ would be an upgrade for Charlotte, Dallas would not lose much. Batum knows how to play. I would also consider some combination of Lee + something else, if decent assets are attached.
Even with a protected pick, because lets be real that's all the Hornets are sending out with him, its not even close enough to stomach that contract. Mavs would be paying Batum 52 million over the next 2 years. Just yuck.
If the Mavs want to trade for a bloated contract, might as well look at CP3 or Gordon Hayward. Both of them are 2 former all-stars, and while they are overpaid, they are still high quality players. Especially CP3 who was one of the most efficient guards last year.
