And it's questionable whether there's anyone LA could send that the Mavs would really want (we can't lose sight of the fact that players like Russell, Bamba and Hachimura aren't under contract and might be looking for far more than they would be worth to the Mavs).
I am down with overpaying Russell, Bamba, and Hachimura to accomplish a KI trade, I simply counter with McGee and Bertans as part of the process and see where we get in negotiations. As I estimate the the FA market, those players are going to face some of the problems C-Wood is due to face as well: Teams that would be willing to roll out salary to take them are not exactly the types of teams that have been real competitive; The competitive teams do not have a lot of cap space to sign outright, and in order to facilitate player movement, there will be a lot of S&T negotiation this summer. Certainly my HOPE for the end of the C-Wood process.
