NBA TRADE TALK: TDL over

[Tyler]

As much as we hate this, it does help make the deals that land Barnes or Bagley in ATL more viable.

Holmes/DP
Maxi/Gallo
DFS/Green
Brunson/Bullock
Luka all 44

That does add some scoring to the bench and while you give some up swapping KP for Holmes, the D will be good and there is a benefit to playing the same type of rim rolling C the entire game.

THJ?

Another interesting tweet today was this cryptic one from Skin Wade that had no obvious context:

If we trade KP for Holmes and Gallo and then deal THJ for Dragic (maybe use the TPE to keep Toronto out of the tax), that fills out your lineup nicely while clearing a crazy amount of cap space this summer. Dallas could be in a whole different situation in terms of financial flexibility. Squeeze Atlanta's '23 1st out of the deal, and the opportunities would be wide open.
