DAL: Monk (+$2.7M)
SAC: Jovic (-$4.0M)
MIA: Klay (+$1.3M)
Dallas gets some draft compensation of some sort?
Would do.
The problem with trading Klay for a usable, non-expiring player is that it still leaves the Mavs with no room for Cisse, let alone Seva. To me, the options are 1) send Klay out along with another Mav in a multi team deal that only nets one player, 2) trade Klay in a deal that results in draft picks coming back and no new players, or 3) just cut him outright. If they do option four and trade him for an expiring, that guy also is likely to be waived/bought out, whoever he is. Or, option five, if Klay is done for a one-for-one non-expiring player, make another deal which is two for one.
Re: the “just waive Cisse” argument, which I haven’t seen here but is out there - hell to the no; that renders the Mavs unable to trade Gafford (since this isn’t a tank year).
