Looking back and thinking forward, I can’t help but wonder if this trade was about creating off-season-above-the-cap maneuverability.
Can any of you trade experts explain how Brooklyn might pay JJ more than the minimum next year? It’s only with the Mavs' help via a sign & trade, no?
And as long as there is outgoing salary from Brooklyn to whomever (enough to match Redick's incoming deal), isn't that JJ money usable for matching purposes (combined in a 3-way deal) on other Mavs' trades?
For instance, could a $13mm JJ to Brooklyn s&t be part of a 3-way sending Dwight Powell ($13mm) and Tyrell Terry ($1.3mm) to Toronto for a $30mm s&t Kyle Lowry?
Or instead, could we send a $13mm JJ to Brooklyn via s&t while exchanging Melli ($4mm), opt-in WCS ($4mm) and Terry ($1.3mm) for Al Horford ($27mm)?
