Knicks probably give Boston another PG, like Walker+Quickly to Boston.
Boston gets 2-3 rotation guys for Smart. Mavs get their defensive replacement for Brunson. NYK gets their guy in Brunson. I think this is the best timeline
Continuing off this idea, this 3-teamer works for everyone and kind of makes sense.
Knicks get: THJ+Brunson (they're in a down year anyways so not having THJ isn't bad)
Celtics get: Kemba+Burkes+Maxi+Burke
Mavs get: Horford+Smart+Removal of 2023 protections.
So in this case the Mavs don't get their pick back, but still get full access to their future picks. That's the trade off for having NYK eat THJ's contract. Boston gets Kemba+Burke to replace Smart. Burks as a scorer of the bench. And Maxi to replace Horford. This also puts Boston 10m below the tax.
Mavs get Smart+Horford who would fit super well here and also stay under the tax by 10m.
Don't see Boston bringing Kemba back (not even sure if they can?) Also don't see the Mavs or NY interested in THJ back NY.
I like the original three team trade with Bullock instead of Maxi, and then there are multiple options to upgrade the 4.
