Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

The question I have, if LeGM is trying to manipulate one last time, and Kyrie is considered a "get", is:

- Would Cleveland try and do a SnT for Kyrie with Harden being the outgoing legal for them?
- Obviously Dallas would have no interest in Harden. What 3rd team would be interested in taking on Harden?
- How much could the Mavs extract by helping two desperate teams?

I think GS feels like they have to do something to help Steph in his last few years. Would Harden and frontcourt help be enough to crack either Yaxel and their 1sts or both?

Cavs get Kyrie (and Lebron)
Warriors get Harden (SnT $39 mil in 1st year) and PJ, Martin
Mavs get Jimmy Butler, B.Pod, Moody and either 4 unprotected 1sts or 3 1sts and Yaxel

The Mavs will have opportunitically turned two desperate teams who are stuck, into a tier above what they presently are.

GS gets a top 25 player and a proven 3-D wing. I don't feel like they can simply go into next season as is.
Cleveland gets their version of the Paul George trade, letting Lebron pick his wingman
Dallas would set itself up at the TDL with a massive expiring contract and a war chest to pick and choose the best Robin for Cooper.

Edit: my numbers are off in the fit by adding Martin and Moody, but the general concept stands
