If so, that’s the Siakam deal I’m looking for.

That usually does not work for us. Arguably the worst signing of the off-season was Grant Williams, which worst case could cost us a high 1st round pick.  Another to add to the list of Josh Richardson, Delon Wright and company.

How was the Hayward/Kyrie fallout in Boston. Not sure Hayward would be that interested to re-kindle that relationship.

All Things Mavs on X: "Dallas has emerged as one of the western conference contenders that is continuously on the phone trying to make a move, per @JakeLFischer. They are shopping Richaun Holmes & Tim Hardaway Jr." / X (twitter.com)

I would not understand what shopping Holmes would mean. Really confused by wording. Mavs are not stupid and they know Holmes has zero value around the league. No one will take that contract unless you take back even worse contract or you attach assets to it. So if you want a serious player, what you really shop is assets, not Holmes. Unless you are just pretending to be shopping

If I had seen the tweet you posted above, my mind would have done the same thing.  Vegas has apparently done the same thing as Dallas is now the favorite for Siakam at +150.  I like the angles people are taking with the Pistons and Magic potentially having interest in THJ.  When I click the link to your Fanspo trade nothing comes up.  I’m interested in what you posted.  One thing of note…THJ and Holmes misses the mark by a few hundred thousand dollars.  So, if it is the two of them for Siakam, then some salary has to be added.  
Below is my stab at the Detroit version of this.  So that Killer doesn’t have a conniption, Killian is only here as expiring money to help with the DJJ retention.  I believe the Dallas outgoing matches the Siakam max and expiring Hayes gets you that much further below the apron (solving FG’s concerns). I do think this costs the unprotected 2027 and I’m happy to pay it.

Detroit out:  Stewart/Hayes. In:  THJ/Temple
Dallas out:  GWill/THJ/Holmes/2027. In:  Siakam/Hayes
Toronto out:  Siakam/Temple. In:  Stewart/GWill/Holmes/2027

Dallas stays under the tax by $500k.  We might need to find a team willing to take Holmes for a second (I mentioned Washington has a TPE that would absorb him).  Toronto ends up with two useful players for the here and now and the Dallas pick.  Detroit gets a useful vet/local hero in THJ and a locker room stud in Temple while moving on from guys who have been on the block for them.  Dallas gets its third star and still has plenty to put around them.

We coud even find a way  to resign DJJ, if we shed Maxi (imao his nba career is done) and THJ while trading for  Lauri.

“Siakam is seeking a full-term, max-salary deal no matter where he ultimately lands. And while Siakam has not asked for a trade, the sources say he doesn’t view the Kings as a good long-term fit if the Raptors choose to move him.”
