BKN has more room, but can't take THJ before next season as it would put them over the first apron. I would love to trade THJ and 2025 for a pick in 2024, but BKN has zero picks this year. Not really enthusiastic about their role players. I guess those MLE available opens more options for the new season.
Great minds….
I looked at Tankathon the other day for just such a deal. Utah is an obvious candidate that I came across first and then I ran out of time to keep looking (I was traveling in Norway…I have a newfound admiration for you guys who post and watch games on a European timeline. 3 hours in the middle of the night to watch a game is a bitch).
Our 2025 and THJ for their #32 feels like something Utah would do. The future first is more valuable to them than a third pick in this draft and THJ can be a placeholder for that space until the TDL or later depending on what happens with LM. Dallas gets another 2nd rounder (possibly at a reduced rate, though at that level in the 2nd they often use part of the MLE to sign a second). You also move all of THJ’s salary (unless you try to do a trade or S&T for someone like Kris Dunn to use some of that space).
The deal would have to be held over to July 1st just like they did last year with OKC. There may be other similar possibilities, but that was the only one I had time to look at.
