If they are smart, this would be an expansion of, and part of the tying together, of Brunson-to-NY and NY-DET trades.
TPE's gained from a trade can be used later at 100% so they add some flexibility -- but if they can be used WITHIN the trade, the flexibility is 125% or more. That not only applies to Mavs interests, but also to DET and NY.
I suspect the initial moves may all be delayed while each team looks to see if they have something more to tie into what's already determined to be done.
