I wonder if LAL would prefer Bullock or Beverley…straight up. Some optionality there with Bullock’s partial guarantee. You get a good on-ball defender who can hit a three vs. a great on-ball defender who can’t. Which is more needed? Why for Dallas? Takes money off of 23/24 OR can be added expiring money if the deal is expanded where Powell/Beverley or Wood/Beverley end up with another team that wants cap space rather than Bullock’s $5mm guarantee.
I'm a little lost. What are we trying to gain here? What would a full deal look like that you are proposing?
