So, something else would have to happen in either a separate trade with another team or in this trade. Everyone probably knows that expiring Bryant and expiring fit our TPE. Rookie Kispert is also enough, combined with Dinwiddie to do the deal and keep Washington under the tax.
Dinwiddie could be one of rare options I see as possible for THJ contract without assets. I would be fine with any throw in from their side (Harrell, Bryant, Holiday) to make the money work.
I doubt anything big is on the table for Mavs. I hope they surprise me. I hope Mavs don't spend assets for a minor move (like Ross mentioned yesterday). I think (bought out) Dragic is a far better option.
