As an example, Kuzma (starting at $28mm) + Gafford for THJ/Green/McGee/Holmes is an exact salary match which keeps the MLE on the table for a guy like Bruce Brown. Washington gets several players with shorter deals for two guys they may not want to keep anyway now that they're in full tank mode. And Dallas gets two starters.
And no matter whether you believe that specific iteration has merit, I think the fact that Kidd has a history with Kuzma deserves our attention.
