NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[SleepingHero]

Not giving up KP and Brunson for Collins.  That leaves too many holes and no way to fill them.  We can't walk out of this TDL with even less play making than we have now.  Maybe you do KP + Green, but I doubt PHI wants KP so you would need a fourth team.  Hard to see a Collins trade unless we get our 23 (Brunson trade) and send multiple picks to ATL, but then we still have a playmaking issue.

This 100%. That's why I think that 3-team trade I proposed with Charlotte and IND is best for everyone involved.

DAL: Sabonis+bad contract into the TPE (I chose Lamb)
CHA: KP+Maxi
IND: Hayward+Bouknight+1st from DAL+1st from CHA

Mavs essentially swap out KP for Sabonis and pay only a 1st for him. Losing Maxi hurts but again he's not irreplaceable.
