No it is not. Paul monster contract has no interest in the league so giving up one of the most sought after role players on a great team friendly contract would be a massive overpay. Not to mention CP3 in Minny is just screaming for "Star player calls out wanna be stars and beats them with third stringers" sequel.

No they were not, you were trading Lee for Covington. Even so, TE can't be used in combination with other players. If they wanted to, Minny and OKC would have absolutely no interest/need to include Mavs as they can do the deal themselves. The way you proposed, OKC actually took more salary by taking Lee and not RoCo. Not to mention the assets OKC could get by further moving RoCo.

So let's just do the Lee+THJ for Paul and collect the championship, since it is such a no brainer.

No it wouldn't. It is Lee + 2nd for RoCo, who is certainly worth much more. Sorry man, you usually have good proposals, but this one is straight ridiculous.
