Edit: McDermott deal went official this morning, a S&T with Indiana
I wouldn’t expect this would be about LM (at least not to Dallas). It could be Dallas getting involved as a participant in what Chicago and SA have already done. We can eat a year of Aminu into our TPE and get something in exchange for that.
Derrick White (27 years old and an Excel client) would certainly solve the secondary playmaker hole. Good at everything and great at nothing, he’s almost always a positive on court no matter the quality of player around him. I’m guessing Green and eating Aminu are part of the price. What else? Hopefully Powell (that would move Young to PF). Probably Maxi. One interesting thing about such a deal is moving salary to Dallas would open space for SA to sign LM to a mid teens deal. So, maybe Powell after all as the backup C to Poeltl and LM and Young as the PF tandem. McDermott is their three and someone from among Vassell, Walker and Primo takes the starting SG spot.
