Vecenie: the move for me has always been Dallas. Dallas could use another big wing who can initiate with the ball in his hands and take on tough defensive assignments. They can salary match with Courtney Lee and Justin Jackson, then the Mavericks have that Warriors second round pick that is currently slated at No. 31 overall. I’m not sure I see anyone giving up a first rounder for an Iguodala that hasn’t been playing the whole year, so I feel like that’s literally the best that the Grizzlies could do?
I've not thought of a deal where GSW #2 and Jackson are included. Jackson fits in a TPE Memphis has (might help this summer). It seems Dallas would be able to get something back in such a deal. Are we at the point where Bruno Caboclo is now only "one year from being two years away"?

Josh Jackson would fit into our TPE (and we'd create a new TPE for Justin Jackson's salary) if the deal was Lee/Jackson/GSW #2 for Iggy/Jackson.
That would be some clever work on the part of the Memphis GM. He got paid a 1st to take Iggy. He essentially got two seconds to take the spread between Jackson and Korver (who Phoenix then cut). A Melton for Carter swap was also part of that deal. If this went through he'd be getting paid a very high 2nd and Justin Jackson for the two guys he was paid a first and two seconds to take from others.
Iggy would be pretty Iffy beyond the current season (see what I did there). Jackson is UFA this summer. The team that has him has Bird Rights, but is limited as to what it can pay ($9mm I believe). Given his history, he'd have to really shine here to command more than that anyway. If he's still a dog, you've done nothing but remove Jackson's $5mm salary from your 2020 cap (and his $12mm hold from 2021). That little bit of extra room and a $3.2mm TPE and your 2020 pick might be valuable this summer as you try to add to the team.
