Lakers and Sixers are rumored to be interested but they don't have the contracts to match unless the Lakers want to give up Kuzma. Mavs have the benefit of having several tradable contracts. I think 2 young, talented players + a pick + cap relief (which is one of the more valuable pieces of this trade) would be good value. The Wolves don't have to trade him at all but if they do want to while his value is high I think Mavs will have one of the better packages.
Hey, I'd be overjoyed to be wrong.

Maybe you add some minimum-wage names in there to balance out the body count on each team, but the basic bones look like this (with the GS pick also going to Minnesota):

Basically, Sacramento gets a better version of Dedmon and a salary-controlled version of Bog. Not bad for a team with cap concerns.
Minnesota gets two young players, a pick, and cap space for Covington and Dieng. Not bad for a rebuilding team.
And Dallas gets a rotation big and two impact wings. One of which can also play lots of PF. Not bad for a playoff contending team.
I'm sure that's way too big to ever get done, but I do feel like it's an interesting balance of team needs.
You must have read my mind. I thought briefly about something like that, but damn, Dedmon's contract is horrendous, and he is not good at basketball. The Mavs would have to make a move for another big, and would have lots of money tied up into two bigs who can't play (for far different reasons). But Bog and RoCo (drool)...
