Ok. Wasn't in the post I replied to, and didn't go back and track the conversation. I see it now. You guys were talking about TT+Burke for Dunn, and Mavs add a 2nd. Got it.
So to go back to that .... TT+Burke for Dunn, and Mavs add a 2nd ....
1 I don't think MEM would be interested. They have been trying to reduce salary obligations owed, not add, and their salary would go up considerably, not down. As for whether the Mavs could bridge the gap by cash rather than a pick, I suspect that workaround would be a no for both teams.
2 I don't think Dunn the player offers any real value to Dallas. Or Memphis.
3 It's rare that deals like these happen during camp to trade 2-for-1 and solve your over-full issue, because everyone else is also dealing with a roster that is full or beyond full. They don't want your problem when it creates a problem for them.
....If they WANTED to keep TT, Burke, or both, where they aren't waiving one or both, then that's a different matter. But we can't assume that, can we?
4 Powell-Burke-______ for Dragic still works, and solves Mavs' problem. You can fill in the blank with either Brown or Terry. It also solves TOR's payroll (tax) problem. Mavs can even take back a rando from TOR, if needed, using the TE. To me, it fixes so many issues for both, and it's a shame that's apparently not gonna happen.
