Give me the Cavs pick and the #NOPSwap in a KP-Kennard-Risacher deal and I’m good.  I’d take a 2027 pick instead of Cavs but like the idea of maybe being in a position to trade that Cavs pick on draft night if a team is in love with a player (like NOP with Queen).  

Be fine with looping the Hawks into one of the future swaps too (OKC/SAS) where Mavs get worst of all three if that pushed it through.

Lol.  Not long ago folks were talking about salary dumping AD, and now folks are talking about getting back Risacher + NOP swap + another first.  Much like Lively, ADs value is going have a wide range of valuations because of the injury concerns (as well as age in his case).  Most likely the seller is going to be in the higher range and the buyer in the lower, which makes me think its unlikely anything is going to get done.
