Brunson to NY for Burks and 23 (note Brunson is going into $16mm of cap space net of the Burks contract which defeats BYC. This is important)
Powell/Green Dallas 23 and 25 to Utah for Gobert (note how little salary has to go to Utah).
Dallas gets Gobert/Burks for Brunson/Powell/Green and 25.
BYC doesn't work like that. That deal is not close to legal.
Gobert/Burks is 48.2
Brunson/Powell/Green is maybe 25 or so
As an aside, I think the Gobert/Mavs idea is dead anyhow. I think the Mavs interest was predicated on the idea UT was wanting to move him, period, and might lack interest on a contract that big -- but when the conversation turned to big values and teams competing to get him, with expectations of highly prized players and picks in return, they stepped out of the conversation.
