1. Offloading Powell (so now we only have 4 centers)
2. Getting rid of the pick who most classify as the wrong guy at that slot
3. Using Cuban's wallet to eat $10 million in salary (BTW, the expiring deal of Aminu probably has more flexibility for future trades than the TPE).
I see the argument that we need to add more to entice SA, but if that poo poo platter is too much for a secondary playmaker who can create for himself and others, plays good D and winning basketball, then we should just shut down all this talk that the off-season is a failure because we didn't get a secondary playmaker.
If you look at every trade like that, everybody will want to trade with you.
White is a backup guard who is squeezed out of their rotation.
1. Why not Brown or WCS if you want to include a center.
2. An olympic bronze medal winner
3. TPE is for free, totally useless Aminu costs 10 Mio $
But I still think the problem is deep hate for Powell. You wanna pay to get rid of him not to get White.
