How about a trade with Boston:
1. Boston gets Jalen Brunson and KP
Dallas gets Marcus Smart and Al Horford and 2FRPs.
Boston gets the PG they want in JB, and another All Star caliber (when healthy) player in KP. Also, they seem to be looking for an upgrade at the PG and Center positions. This gives them that.
They give up two FRPs because JB and KP are quality players that will help them win now.
They may run with the following line up:
Brunson, Brown, Tatum, KP, Williams.
2. Dallas then uses the 2 FRPs and package that with THJ (as salary balast) and JGreen and Moses Brown for Jerami Grant and scrubs for roster spot concerns.
Detroit gets THJ (veteran shooter, salary balast), JGreen (developing young player), MBrown (prospect/project at a position of need.
Dallas gets Jerami Grant (two-way player who will be second banana).
3. Hopefully Dallas signs Goran Dragic after being bought out.
Dallas can run a line up of
Starters: Luka, Smart, Grant, DFS, Maxi
Bench: Dragic, FN, RB, SB, Horford.
Luka will be surrounded by capable defenders who can switch if needed who abd also score.
These trades takes care of the salaries of THJ, KP, and the free agency of Brunson.
Horford is a big expiring contract, DP, Maxi are also expiring. Idon'know if these are any good, just musing.
This is well thought out and covers a lot of angles. I like turning KP and THJ into Grant and Smart. Wish it didn’t cost Brunson to do it. If Grant and Maxi could hold the fort against the biggest of the bigs in the league, then this move might work.
