Unless they included Grant. But even then Grant wants to be a 2nd/1st option. Don't think he'd just slide in here and be happy being basically the 3rd/4th option on any given night.
Bey would be an interesting addition. Would finally put to rest "the one that got away" talk (mainly by me).
Were DET to add some picks (a protected first maybe) and take back Sterling Brown now we're getting somewhere.
Grant+Stewart+lottery protected 1st for THJ+Brunson+Brown.
Mavs would still be about 2 million over the Apron, 5 mill above the tax, but maintain 2023 flexibility with this trade.
I think Detroit was projected to have over 30 mil in cap space next year. Don't think they are giving up Grant for Brunson when they can simply sign Brunson into cap.
