Hayward mostly helps in that regard being an expiring in the offseason, Rozier will still have 3 years on contract. Of course that doesn't help the tax much, but we get a much higher quality team that should be contenders and depending on our run this season, possibly in the upper echelon of favorites.
It really doesn't matter where you might intend to go from there - my point was that it would leave the Mavs so deep into tax next season that Cuban would almost certainly kill the deal.
Who's the "stud" you'd want to target? It's not OG. While he is often coveted in this forum, TOR would be looking for the exact opposite of the deal mentioned here. They are looking to move up and get BETTER players, not shed talent. And the only reason OG was ever out there was in ideas for a STUD CENTER. There has never been the notion they would move him for less, as they have visions of adding that last key piece to their current roster to grab another title.
