I like Holmes + SRP for Olynyk. But it might take both SRP's for dealing with Ainge. Mavs save $12.8 mil next season. Or resign for less next summer.
Hardaway for Hield. Would Rick like to have THJ playing with him again? Mavs save $16.1 mil next season. Should give us the full MLE next season and we will also have the BAE.
The problem is I don't think the other team does either of those deals. You are giving up the worse player and the longer contract. I don't think that is worth a second or two to another team. It will be easier to trade contracts like that in the offseason when they will be effectively expiring, especially Holmes.
