Since you started the “what if’s”. What if no one wants Powell at the TDL? What if THJ doesn’t improve from last year, or gets injured again through the playoffs?
The “assets” you seem to think we’re giving up are not worth the FRP (even if protected) that NBA FOs are going crazy for right now.
I will say, there’s no way Cuban signs off on a deal that brings RW here, but to say getting us closer to the cap limit doesn’t give us more options with creativity hasn’t been paying attention to what NBA FOs have been doing lately.
