He actually makes some sense for Sactown in that case if they still want to have any hope for Bagley. If you're just trading for Holmes+Heild it's basically the same as paying Holmes KP-type money. That would make zero sense when we could have just signed him for way cheaper.

Having said that, I don't think it's a particularly realistic scenario.

It would be replacing KP's salary with Holmes (an elite rim-runner and mobile defensive big man) AND Hield (an elite floor spacer who has shot 41% from three on 6.1 attempts per game for his career).

The Mavs could have easily gotten Holmes this offseason if that was a priority. They clearly do not have the interest in him that some of us have.
Heild is THJ with a bad attitude, he would be a huge albatross here.

KP would be one of the last 3-4 players I'd want if I ran an NBA team. Who knows what the clown owner (Vivek?) thinks about anything, I guess.

Well, we basically know they had interest, but as to the amount of interest I think the above rings true.

My trade offer would be KP+Bullock+Terry for Halliburton+Holmes+Heild -Both teams gets two starters who fit with their stars, one an elite role player and the other with star potential -Both teams take the other's bad contract -Both teams get bench shooting (potentially)

Sacramento will not trade Haliburton for that offer.

Josh Green is a top 5 Mavs player...

I'm thinking this is a way to gather information, not a way to farm out value determination. Am I wrong? 1 how is there real advantage in a system that other teams/agents can see, and in them KNOWING you are using it to form your value decisions (while you don't know what THEY will be using) 2 if this system is so great, why are you alerting other teams to your use of it so that you get no advantage, rather than just keeping your mouth shut while you use it and get ahead 3 what value is there in making a big deal about how you'll be underpaying Bullock by about 25% while you want him to be eager to be even better The edge comes from no one knowing what you're doing. But to do that, you can't tell the world how smart you are, and brag about what your new secret sauce is. The more you talk, the less advantage you have. So we talk.

So you have a track record of being on point regarding front office critique. And any comment from me comes from me on this particular topic is informed by very little information (basically this thread). Having said all that, my sheepish answer to all your questions above is just this (which is kind of what I already said): I don't think information gathering is the same thing as the actual valuation. My critique, or unexpert advice to the Mavs, would be to not limit your research to just one, third party, source.
