If they could do the THJ+Burke for Conley trade, they could also do Maxi+JRich+Brunson for Collins.

The Jazz are about 6 mil away from the tax before they sign Conley, meaning any SnT for THJ trade will certainly put them in the tax. If they're trying to avoid it, then why wouldn't they just put all their power into resigning Conley?

If Conley wants to leave 100% no matter what and wants to come to Dallas AND the Jazz don't care about the tax, then I can see them wanting THJ in a SnT.

Now, in that case I could maybe see the value of Oubre as a bench scorer, if you can get him for the MLE. Add some cheap vet PG with the BAE like Avery Bradley or George Hill and you've got a nice team going.

 

I actually see Oubre as a potential starter. Even with all of his issues he can still put up buckets. The one constant theme in his career is that he's never been surrounded by elite talent (also despite putting up numbers his team losing). The closest he's ever been was GSW but that's been the Warriors weakest team since 2011.

Say the Mavs pull off the unthinkable and get Conley+Collins. Oubre would be slotting next to Luka/Conley/Collins/KP. 1 All world player and 3 fringe all-star level guys. That's a boatload of talent. I can see him shining in a situation like that where he's the 5th option. DFS could be a super sub for any one 1 those guys too if defense is needed. Mavs could try and sign some vet min ring chasers on value contracts like Dragic/Boban/Batum and you're rocking with

Luka/Dragic
Conley/JGreen
Oubre/Batum
Collins/DFS
KP/Powell/Boban

That's a lethal team.
