Totally agree with THJ+Lee alone. I would expect something more from their side actually. A pick or young player. It saves them a ton of salary.
Regarding killing our flexibility at FA until 2022. Look at it this way - Houston managed to move his contract. If hypothetical deal with Dallas happened, OKC also managed to move him. So why would we think, that Dallas would be unable to move him, if Giannis is willing to sign with us?
I don't agree Paul is necessary a disruptor of team chemistry. I totally understand he got pissed off in Clippers playing with that clown DAJ. Same in Houston - I can totally understand Paul object to Harden style of play because it will not lead to titles. I see him as fierce competitor with high basketball IQ. I think Luka and him could have a great bond, with a bit of mutual self respect. Luka can learn a lot from CP3 and should not act like a diva if Paul has something to say. I don't think Luka is like that.
