I think the Mavs thought they had a 3-way for Green at the TDL right?
Danny Green is only on a 1 yr deal and has value still but maybe not as much on the Lakers as he would elsewhere, including Dallas.
I also don't know how the salaries would line up but for example if Mavs want better fitting parts than Jackson and Wright they could move them in a deal. This type of move would also free up future cap space for the Mavs.
Danny Green is certainly a good fit, but a package that includes Wright-plus for Green is a Plan Powder move. Green would be a one year rental that saves Wright's $9 million salary in 2021. I don't like Plan Powder in this case because it means no use of the MLE in 20/21 and no extension for THJ. Doing those things and keeping our picks gives us room for a 30% UFA in the 21 offseason. You aren't throwing next season away because you have THJ and Green. But you enter 2021 with KP, Maxi, Powell, DFS, Luka, Curry, Brunson, #18 and #31 as your core to add about $35mm worth of free agent(s) to.
Personally, I'd rather add someone like Grant for the MLE and extend THJ. I'd also trade Jackson and 18 for a real player from a team that covets the pick. I like the proposals made about Kennard, though I suspect there are other deals out there. I don't think we need a third star. I think we need more 3rd/4th starter types.
