They have a non-guaranteed contract that allows them to do a 3 for 2 or 2 for 1, but as proposed, I'm wondering if they wouldn't send out Danny Green also? They would need to lose a little over $5mm in salary.
So the trade can be in 2 parts: Brunson/THJ/Maxi for Simmons, and Danny Green into the TPE for a 2nd rounder. Both teams end up well under the tax, and since Green's deal is non-guaranteed next season Dallas could even get some extra relief to help offset Luka's big raise and whatever they offer DFS.
Also, I'm sure Followill would have fun with a potential Green/Green/Brown/Brown lineup.
